Ribautiana cruciata - 2 to light in Cornwall on 7th October 2020. I've seen this species in Norfolk before but not locally.

Ribautiana tenerrima - Found at the Cathedral Meadows on at least 4 dates between 5th September and 2nd October 2020, mostly on Bramble and largely thanks to a tip from David (@AmblingMan) on Twitter about gently turning over Bramble leaves that show pale speckling (feeding signs). 1-2 others were not recorded as they got away before I could confirm them, but were probably also this species. Also 2 to light in Cornwall on 6th October 2020.

Lindbergina aurovittata - Caught in my garden moth trap on 23rd June and 16th August 2019 and 14th November 2020. Also beaten from Oak at the meadows on 8th September 2019 (probably - this one escaped before I could confirm it) and 19th August 2020; also to light at Swanton Great Wood on 27th August 2019.
