Thank you.
I notice this species is also called the Large Maple Spanworm on odolep.com/Moths/GEOMETRIDAE/6982Prochoerodes..., but on bugguide.net, Prochoerodes lin*eola is given the same common name.

synonym
Prochoerodes transversata was treated as a synonym of P. lineola in Malcolm Scoble's Geometrid Moths of the World (1999). There's already a BugGuide page for Large Maple Spanworm here.

Very well.
I've moved the image to the P. lineola page and deleted the P. transversata page.
