Imma nephelatma is a moth in the family Immidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1927. It is found in New Guinea.^[1]

The wingspan is 19–21 mm. The forewings are rather dark purplish fuscous, in males with a short pale ochreous median streak from the base, tinged red at the base and a cloudy spot of dark fuscous suffusion on the end of the cell, preceded by an obscure blotch of grey-whitish suffusion extended halfway to the dorsum (in females more distinct on the undersurface). The hindwings are violet-hyaline, with the veins blackish. There is a moderate irregular-edged dark fuscous band around the costa and termen, very narrow on the lower part of the termen but with a long projection on vein 1a.^[2]
