This moth does not have a dorsal stripe. No red markings visible. Moths of Victoria 'Key to the Geometrinae' does not show named Chlorocoma spp. which closely matches this moth. The head of the moth shows a green neck and a green 'forehead' separated by a white stripe beween the bases of the antennae. It may be the species recognised by MoV as Chlorocoma sp.(1) but seems to lack the green fringe to the forewings and hindwings.
