Although Pergagrapta polita is a distinctly possible identification for these larvae. We simply don't have the knowledge or resources to identify or eliminate other possible species. In lieu of a comprehensive study or guide to the larvae of the nearly 60 species in subfamily Perginae; subfamily level identification is the only valid option.
