A new species of cold-season moths, Exapate aidasi sp. nov., is described from male specimens collected in Armenia. This is also the first record of the genus Exapate in Armenia and south of the Caucasus. The new species differs from the two previously known congeneric taxa both in phenotypic characteristics and in the structure of the male genitalia. In addition, DNA barcodes (cytochrome c-oxidase subunit 1) are clearly divergent from those of other species. Adult and male genitalia of all three species of Exapate are shown for comparison.
