per VA Brou:
Royal Tyler There were two people in North America over the past 40 years who could reliably visually distinguish these two species for the past several decades in eastern NA. One was the late Fred Rindge (AMNH), and the other was me. I provided numerous thousands of Louisiana geometrids to Rindge in the 70s, 80s, and 90s for identification. Based upon your illustrated image, this specimen appears to be Lygris gracilineata female.
