Delplanqueia dilutella

Have you ticked Delplanqueia dilutella? Many people probably ticked it under the name Pempeliella dilutella but since then it has been found that there are two species in Britain; D. dilutella and D. inscriptella. Early results suggest that the latter is the commoner species, at least in England. I am not actually aware of any confirmed records of dilutella in England as yet. I suspect many people who currently have this species on their list need to hit the delete button (or dissect their specimens if they have any).
