Monochroa nomadella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found from southern and central Europe to the southern Ural. It is also found in Mongolia.[2] Records of M. nomadella from France and north-western Italy refer to Monochroa bronzella.[3] The species prefers calcareous habitats.
The wingspan is 12–14 mm for males and about 8 mm for females. The wings of the females are reduced to some extent and it is thought they do not fly.
