Just heard from Simon Roddis that he caught perlucidalis a couple of years ago in Darley Dale and Brian Statham has also taken it in Clough Wood so it appears to be scarce rather than rare.

Phlyctaenia perlucidalis
Taken at home last night, a reasonably fresh example of Phlyctaenia perlucidalis. This is a Pyralid which is expanding its range from the Norfolk fens and the SE with recent records in Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire so I would expect that there have been records in southern Derbyshire but a record for the Peak District seems more unlikely. It appears to be a moth of the fens so I can only assume this individual is on its way somewhere else!
