.<classname> #<identifier>

In CSS standard,

The above would be referring to an element applied with class "myclass2" which is a descendant of a parent/ancestor element applied with class "myclass", which is also a descendant of a parent/ancestor element applied with an identifier "id"

just having ".myclass2" will fit ANY element in the whole DOM that is applied with class "myclass2".

In short, the matching is different. But the result can be the same depending on your actual DOM.
