I don't think the olivaceous FW color can be considered a reliable field mark
for strigataria. I've seen denticulata with that tint.

Here is an image of Phigalia strigataria 6660, taken 22 Feb. 2011 at
Echo Valley Farm, Watauga Co., NC. Note the almost straight pm line
with no deep scalloping. Also note the slight olivaceous tint to the
forewings which is another field mark for strigataria.
