CM's moth collection

[Common Mime]

Starting with these two that I took this morning. :)

Which composition whichs better forthe first moth?

Appreicate it if any expert can ID for me :cheers:

The top species (I prefer the second shot) is probably a species of Oxymacaria or Chiasmia (Geometridae, Ennominae, Macariini), but I am not 100% certain of this - the "jizz" simply isn't quite right, and I'm wondering about the possibillity of this being a noctuid of some description.

The second species I can only be certain of the genus - Scopula (Geometridae, Sterrhinae), probably in the lacriphaga species group, but you'd have to dis-sect the genitalia to get an i-d to species with this group.

cheers,

Roger.

Thanks Roger.

One more from today. :)

This one is placed in the family Thyrididae.

I need to check the generic placement, but don't hold your breath on a placement to species as many of these are only reliably determined on genitalia features (i.e. by dis-section).

cheers,

Roger.
