Epermenia thailandica is a moth of the Epermeniidae family. It is found in Thailand, the Russian Far East[1] and the islands of Honshu and Kyushu in Japan.

The length of the forewings is 5.5–7 mm. The forewings are whitish-grey on the basal third of the wing, scattered with dark scales on the costal area. There is pale brownish-yellow suffusion on the apical two-thirds.[2]

The larvae feed on the fruit of Eleutherococcus senticosus. The species overwinters in the pupal stage.
