I haven't been able to find these two. I'm not sure whether the second one has 
lost it's "snout" or if maybe it isn't even a Grass Moth.

At first glance I thought this was just a nicely marked 5362 Crambus 
agitatellus but then I saw 5362.1 Crambus alboclavellus. There seems to be some 
concern over whether or not C. alboclavellus is a valid species. Any thoughts 
on this?
