Epermenia epispora is a moth in the family Epermeniidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1897.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland and New South Wales.

The wingspan is 9-11 mm. The forewings are fuscous, finely whitish-sprinkled and with scattered strigulae of dark fuscous scales. There is a slender indistinct dark fuscous inwardly oblique fasciae at one-fourth and halfway, the latter terminating in a large dark fuscous dorsal scale-tooth at one-third, and is followed by a triangular dorsal white suffusion. There is a moderately broad ill-defined dark fuscous vertical fascia at two-third, marked with an ochreous spot in the disc, and terminating in a dark fuscous tornal scale-tooth. There is also a black discal dot at three-fourths, partly white-edged. The costa is posteriorly spotted with dark fuscous. The hindwings are fuscous.[2]
