Imma trichinota is a moth in the family Immidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1906. It is found on Sulawesi and Bali.[1]

The wingspan is 17–18 mm. The forewings are dark purplish fuscous, in males with a longitudinal impression beneath the costa from one-sixth to the middle, containing a tuft of long ochreous-whitish scales from the posterior extremity, covered by a flap of very long fuscous hairs from the anterior extremity. The costal edge is ochreous white from before the middle to three-fourths. The hindwings are dark fuscous, towards the base thinly scaled, with undefined semitransparent median and subdorsal streaks.[2]
