Epermenia dracontias is a moth in the family Epermeniidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1917.[1] It is found in southern India.
The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are grey, somewhat sprinkled with blackish and with a black streak along the basal fourth of the dorsum. There are several small spots of black irroration along the costa and three small black spots circled with white placed in a longitudinal row in the disc from two-fifth to three-fourth. There is also a thick blackish longitudinal streak extending between and beyond these to near the apex between the first two, extended as a fascia to the costa and dorsum, this followed on the dorsum by a semioval white spot containing two black dots. There are strong dorsal projections of grey scales tipped with black before middle, at two-thirds and before the tornus. The hindwings are light grey.[2]
