To me these specimens look closer to the nominal species Smyriodes aplectaria than to the similar S. sp. nr aplectaria.

I think this is Uraba lugens (Nolidae). Was it smaller than the usual Smyriodes sp nr aplectaria rather than larger? I think 3868979 that we have under Uraba lugenss is really a Phycitinae moth and will check further.

It (the first image) smaller than Smyriodes s nr aplectaria. I think after all, might have two different species here. The second specimen is at least apparently, much more worn.

Yes. I didn't consider Uraba lugens. I thought though that the first and third bands in the wings are more wavy than many images of U lugens I've now seen again on line, but it seems to be quite a variable species.
