First two photos look like Helina impuncta, but i have doubt (it seems to have 4 katepisternals)
Maybe Stephane Lebrun can tel more! (expert)
Last one...female Helina depunta.

The male is Helina impuncta, the female is either H. impuncta or H. depuncta (depending on aristal hairs length).
Stephane.
