Acutalis
You would need to rear progeny from a single female to be sure. They often occur in mixed lots - but so do Entylia carinata and Publilia concava, which are obviously different species. Usually you get only one or the other, so they are currently listed as separate species, A. tartarea (the black one) and A. brunnea (the yellow-and-black one).
