Perimede parilis is a moth in the family Cosmopterigidae. It was described by Ronald W. Hodges in 1969. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Arkansas and Illinois.[1][2]
The wingspan is 8–12 mm. Adults are dark gray black. The forewings have a yellowish-white patch in the costal scales just before the apex. There are a few whitish scales on the apical one-fifth of wing and an incomplete V shape of whitish scales connecting white spots at three-fourths the length of the wing.[3] Adults have been recorded on wing from June to August.
