Epermenia exilis is a moth in the Epermeniidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1897.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from South Australia and New South Wales.
The wingspan is 10-13 mm. The forewings are fuscous, mixed with whitish and irregularly irrorated or strigulated with dark fuscous. There is a narrow indistinct dark fuscous inwardly oblique fascia before the middle and a black dot in the disc before this, and another at three-fourths, beyond which is an indistinct ochreous spot. There are four small equidistant black dorsal scale-teeth, the first at one-third and the fourth at the tornus, as well as a black costal dot towards the apex. The hindwings are light grey.[2]
