Synchlora
Hi - hard to be certain from this image which species you have, but the antennae say this is one of the Synchlora, and the line on the forewing and the locality would lead me to suggest Synchlora faseolaria (formerly Cheteoscelis faseolaria).

You can visit our site on the Geometrinae at
http://ourfcs.friendscentral.org/moths

and see the particular page with images of Synchlora faseolaria here

Thanks, John - Your comments make sense...
...if the comment on this specimen applies:
then your ID would be correct. I think it would be save to move it to Synchlora at least.

I will certainly take a look at your site. Moths are fascinating, beautiful creatures!

Late entry: Very nice site, and excellent resource!
