Uniform grey, no striations, no chestnut colouration (that I can see), end margin serrated, discal spot. See MOV 5-28-7 and associated CD.

I agree, but the system isn't offering Add Species at the moment. I was looking at your 4256297 earlier and suspected P. ochrosoma but it wasn't obvious enough to suggest changing P. porphyrinaria. Both these species and some other similar ones have brown on the veins if looked at from the right angle, but they are most prominent in P. porphyrinaria that also has an overall purplish hue.

Is there any chance of getting Paralaea ochrosoma added to Insects / Moths / Geometer at the moment?

How does this specimen differ from Paralaea atralba and Paralaea sarcodes? The big difference between Paralaea ochrosoma and the other Paralaea is the yellow abdomen, which cannot be checked in this photograph. I think the best we can do is say that it is Paralaea sp.

I have added an enlargement of the lateral view of the head which shows a filament antenna going underwing - hence female
