No white dorsal line on the thorax, therefore not Chlorocoma carenaria.

Not all Chlorocoma have a white/cream dorsal line on the thorax as pointed out for Chlorocoma tetraspila (Lower, 1901) and C. externa (Walker, 1861) in Moths of Victoria. There are others

OK. P. albicosta does not appear in the MoV Geometrinae Key, presumably because it does not occur there.
