Imma cyclostoma is a moth in the family Immidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1906. It is found in Assam in India and Tanintharyi Region of Myanmar.[1]

The wingspan is 21–22 mm. The forewings are rather dark fuscous, more or less sprinkled finely with pale ochreous, which sometimes forms a broad posterior discal suffusion. There is a line of pale ochreous scales along the submedian fold towards the base and a faintly indicated irregular line of similar scales from middle of the costa to two-thirds of the dorsum. An obscure dark fuscous discal dot is found at three-fifths and there is a more or less defined pale whitish-ochreous apical mark, and terminal row of minute sometimes connected crescentic dots. The hindwings are dark fuscous, somewhat lighter towards the base.[2]
