Epermenia septicodes is a moth in the family Epermeniidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1917.[1] It is found in Sri Lanka.
The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are deep yellow-ochreous, the base of the costa suffused with blackish-grey, and with some scattered scales along it to the middle. There is a narrow irregular blackish-grey fascia from the middle of the dorsum towards the middle of the costa, but not reaching it, as well as a transverse blackish-grey spot from the tornus not reaching the costa, and another crossing the wing midway between this and the apex, connected with it by a terminal streak. The hindwings are grey.[2]
