| Epermenia imperialella Busck, 1906 | |
Epermenia imperialella is a moth in the family Epermeniidae. It was described by August 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 colouration increases in intensity towards the apex. The hindwings are dark bronzy fuscous. [5]
