Imma tetrope is a moth in the family Immidae. It was described by Alexey Diakonoff in 1978. It is found in Nepal. [1]

The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are dark purplish fuscous, anteriorly more dull blackish fuscous, posteriorly slightly lighter brownish fuscous with a bronze gloss. A slightly outwards-oblique transverse erected-oval white discal spot is found just beyond and parallel to the closing vein, rounded on both ends, gently narrowed downwards. There is a small whitish inwards-oblique mark beyond two-thirds of the costa, with a metallic blue dot below it and a couple of similar dots is found below the costa halfway between the preceding and the apex and a close series of such dots is located before the termen. The hindwings are deep purplish fuscous, suffused with dark purple and with an ill-defined paler fuscous marginal streak from around the apex to the tornus, preceded by a narrower similar streak. There is also a narrow blue-metallic line, throughout edging a marginal streak anteriorly and an erected-triangular suffused whitish discal spot, slightly before the middle, from the costa, with a truncate base on the lower edge of the cell.
