Epermenia imperialella is a moth in the Epermeniidae family. It was described by Busck in 1906.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Manitoba, Alberta, Iowa and Pennsylvania.[2][3]
The wingspan is 13-18 mm.[4] The forewings are light yellow, overlaid with reddish ochreous on the costal and apical part. On the middle of the wing is an ill-defined broad oblique darker greyish ochreous fascia, widest at the costal edge, gradually narrowing to the dorsal edge, which it reaches at the basal third. It is there continued into a dark ochreous dorsal scale tuft. The reddish coloration increases in intensity towards the apex. The hindwings are dark bronzy fuscous.[5]
The larvae probably feed on Apiaceae species.[6]
