Micropterix mansuetella, a county first?

                                   Micropterix mansuetella
                                 Micropterix mansuetella
                                 Micropterix calthella.
                                 Whilst photographing some Micropterix calthella
                                 in Llangynwyd today, I noticed this Micropterix
                                 mansuetella on Bluebell. Only the one was present
                                 and, on checking the Moths of Glamorgan, I could
                                 see the species was not listed. Unless there are any
                                 recent records, this could be a county first?
