Figured it out!
The first is Anumeta dentistrigata (Staudinger, 1877)
Initially, I mistook it for the light form of Anumeta cestis.

I will allow myself to repost, so as not to get confused and pay attention:
Metoponrhis karakumensis (Gerasimov, 1931) (Det. Barko)
Ustyurt Nature Reserve, clay desert, May 16, 2008

Perhaps the most horned of the catocalinas. And why would she want them?..

Similar adaptations are characteristic of some desert species of scoops. Designed to facilitate the exit of the butterfly outside from under the thickness of hard ground. In karakumensis, this is a horned outgrowth on the head, in some others burrowing special formations are located on the front legs or pushing type on the hind legs. umnik.gif
