Going around in circles...

 ...with these two. The first seems closest to Endothenia oblongana, but it isn't quite right, so I am stumped.




The second looks so distinctive it should be obvious ( and it probably is!), but I have come up with nothing that seems to fit.



I have the first for dissection if required, but the second departed before I could pot it.

Any suggestions appreciated as always!

Thanks

    Hi Phil,
    They are Piniphila bifasciana and Athrips mouffetella. There was a query about the latter on here only a week ago - see "A couple of micros...." on 2nd July!

    Thanks Dave,
    As usual, once I know the answer, I find myself asking "How did I miss that?"
    Must try harder!
