Rehimena monomma is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Warren in 1896. It is found in India (Khasi Hills).

The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are straw-yellow, suffused with greyish fuscous beneath the median vein for two thirds from the base, the veins themselves are paler. There are no markings, except for a large round velvety black discal spot. The hindwings are similar, but with the fuscous suffusion deeper and embracing the whole wing except the hind margin. There is a faint dark brown cell-spot and a submarginal wavy line, edged externally with paler.
