Chatelain in some ex-tensive fresh water marshes, at Stodmarsh National Nature Reserve,Kent, on the night of the 26th June 1984, two males of a gelechiidspecies of unfamiliar appearance were attracted between to the Tilley lamp I was carrying. During the sameperiod, about a dozen examples of the very local reed-feedingBrachmia inornatella Douglas (Lep.: Gelechiidae) also appeared atthe lamp, a species seemingly new to East Kent (VC15) and onlyonce before noted in the Fig. 1 (top). Monochroa niphognatha, male, Stodmarsh, Kent, 26 June1984, al. exp. 13 mm. Fig. 2 (bottom).

NIPHOGNATHA AND RANCIDELLA 21 Examination of the two unidentified specimens on the returnhome revealed a marked similarity \o Monochroa suffusella Douglas,and on submitting them to Dr. Sattler (British Museum, NaturalHistory), they were compared with the specimens of M suffusella inthe Museum and with the single example there of M appeared to conform to the latter, and examination of thegenitalia confirmed they were in fact this new species to the Britishfauna, and so were exhibited as M. niphognatha at the meeting ofthe British Entomological and Natural History Society on the12th July 1984. Having informed a friend, Mr. Norman Heal, of mygood fortune at Stodmarsh, he proceeded to th
