UK micros - help with identification please

[Roger KENDRICK]

Hi Charles,

The first image is of a Depressariinae species (Oecophoridae). There is a
paper covering group from the 1950's in what is now the Journal of the
BENHS, then the S.London Ent & Nat Hist Soc. Contact the BENHS
(http://www.benhs.org.uk/) for further details. The second species is also
an Oecophoridae - Diurnea fagella (melanic form) - a male (the female has
very reduced wings).

Hope this helps,

Roger Kendrick.
