Epermenia canadensis is a moth in the Epermeniidae family. It was described by Gaedike in 2008.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Alberta.
The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are cream-coloured with two tufts of raised scales at the dorsum. The costa is overlaid with grey-brown scales. There is an oblique broad grey-brown streak from the first tuft to the costa. There is also a yellow-ochre patch before the apex. Between it and the streak is a very small black dot and a second black dot is found near the base of the cell. The hindwings are pale grey.
Etymology
