There is a Catoblemma larva in this image. The large blob underneath the stem. It covers itself with the remains of the scale tests. See page 209 my book.

Hi Roger
Please have a look at this sighting of mine, which no-one has been able to ID:
Noctuid moth (Noctuidae & Erebidae) Mataeomera sp. (genus) (A Scale Moth) on 17 Dec 2016
Is this a Catoblemma larva?

Correct. The taxonomy of Catoblemma and Mataeomera is confusing as they appear to be congeneric, I will check with Ted. The cases of the Catoblemma/Mataeomera feeding on the brown E. coriaceus are reddish whereas those feeding on the white E. confusus are whitish.

I looked up Catoblemma on butterflyhouse and found the following:

Catoblemma and Mataeomera seem to be synonyms.

Its a problem keeping up with all the name changes especially when its not ones own speciality. So Mataeomeria takes precedence
