Epermenia stolidota is a moth in the family Epermeniidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1917.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and Arizona.[2]
The wingspan is 20-22 mm.[3] The forewings are whitish ocherous, between the veins more ocherous and irrorated (speckled) with light gray and a few blackish scales. The stigmata are small and black and the plical elongate, very obliquely beyond the first discal. The hindwings are light gray.[4]
