Imma priozona is a moth in the family Immidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1906. It is found on Borneo.[1]

The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are rather dark fuscous, faintly purplish tinged and with a whitish-ochreous basal dot. There is a slender irregular whitish-ochreous fascia from before the middle of the costa to two-thirds of the dorsum, with a sharp posterior projection in the middle and an obtuse one on the submedian fold. A small triangular whitish-ochreous spot is found on the costa before the apex. The hindwings have a slight subdorsal groove. They are rather dark fuscous, somewhat lighter towards the base.[2]
