The first is Clepsis consimilana (note the two dark marks on the trailing edge of the wing). Not sure about the other...it's pretty worn. Might be Hedya nubiferana?
ReplyDeleteThanks George. Hadn't noticed those two dark spots - something to look out for. I had the other one pencilled in as a possible Hedya sp, I'll leave it at that and mention H. nubiferana in the comments.
