Quite near the end

Some more posers from the 12th, not all of them micros: the first is a rather poorly-marked macro, but which looks as though it should be identifiable; the second looks like some form of Epinotia, but we can't find one that fits; the third also looks as though it should be straightforward, but again there's nothing obviously matching in the book; the fourth is another pesky pug, and the fifth looks hugely distinctive, but again we can't find anything to pin it down as: any suggestions for any?

  1. Hi Steve, the first one looks like a rather worn Cloaked Minor and the third is Scrobipalpa costella.

  2. Last one looks like Duponchelia fovealis to me. BW, Marc

  3. Many thanks, both: not wonder I couldn't find the Duponchelia, it's not in the Sterling and Parsons!

  4. The middle ones look like Epinotia nisella/cinereana and Scrobipalpa costella
