Imma leniflua is a moth in the family Immidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1931. It is found in Colombia.[1]

The wingspan is about 21 mm. The forewings are light grey brownish, irrorated (sprinkled) white especially anteriorly, the costal edge white except towards the base and with brown spots on the costa at one-fifth and the middle. There is a dark brown bar on the end of the cell, followed by an elongate white spot with dark brown spots above and beneath. An obtusely angulated series of cloudy brown spots is found from the costa at three-fourths to the tornus, preceded towards the dorsum by some pale yellowish suffusion. There is also a terminal series of cloudy dark brown dots separated by small ochreous-whitish spots. The hindwings are dark grey, lighter anteriorly.[2]
