Certainly looks like hauderi. Would be the first record for Kent according to the Checklist of Kent Lepidoptera (Ian Ferguson, April 2003)
One of my favourite groups of moths!

I've had to have a few of these!
It's hard to see what else it could be but as you say Josh it looks like being a first for Kent :eek!:
I also had a moth that appears to fit the bill for C. hauderi in East Kent on the 12th July.
However, I have been reliably informed that C. hauderi is about to be relegated from being a valid taxon to a junior synonym for C. stigmatella, as genitalic differences are apparently not reliable.
I was directed to the second photo at the link below:

Don't know anything about C. hauderi, but it's not on the Surrey list.

Many thanks Dave for the info, I'll send it to the recorder as hauderi and he can decide what to do with it!
Interesting to see the one on the Hants moth site, were you directed to it to highlight that others have been recorded elsewhere or are they saying that it is definitely a sub-sp?

Dear All
Just for further information, this is the subject of current research by some colleagues and will be the subject of a forthcoming paper on the subject (I think it is in press). Until then it's best to deal with it as per the British list and not to "jump the gun", as it were, on the details behind the research.
Nice little moth, too (which I have had in a couple of places recently).
