Exaeretia hermophila is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1922. It is found in Guinea.[1][2]
The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are pale yellow ochreous, here and there slightly brownish tinged, with a few scattered fuscous and dark fuscous scales and a somewhat excurved transverse blackish-grey streak almost at the base. There is a small blackish-grey mark on the costa at one-fourth and a flattened-triangular blackish-grey blotch extending on the costa from the middle to three-fourths, and reaching one-third across the wing. The first discal stigma is indicated by some light brownish suffusion and a few dark grey scales, the second by a whitish dot. The hindwings are light grey.[3]
