Abstract
Abstract. Monochroa bronzella sp. n. is described from the southwestern Alps (France, Italy). It is closely
related to M. nomadella (Zeller, 1868), with which it was hitherto confused. Literature records of M. nomadella
from France and northwestern Italy refer to M. bronzella sp. n. The two species are most clearly
distinguishable in the signa of the female genitalia. Females of both species have reduced wings, most
pronounced in M. nomadella. The new species is found in mountain areas at altitudes from around 800 to
2000 m. Adults and male and female genitalia of these two species are figured.
