Imma lithosioides is a moth in the family Immidae. It was described by Frederic Moore in 1887. It is found in Sri Lanka.[1]

The wingspan is 22–23 mm. The forewings are rather dark fuscous, more or less strewn with brownish-ochreous scales and with brownish ochreous markings, obscurely edged with pale yellow-ochreous. There is a bisinuate basal patch, sometimes little marked, its edge running from beyond one-fourth of the costa to before the middle of the dorsum. Semi-oval spots are found on the costa before and beyond the middle and there is an irregular discal patch extending from the middle to five-sixths, in females obscured by general ochreous suffusion. There is a triangular apical spot, as well as some irregular suffused markings towards the tornus and a dark fuscous terminal line. The hindwings are fuscous, suffused with dark fuscous towards the termen.[2]
