Was this apparent pupa seen on the same plant or nearby to CNM Sighting No 4409396?

No, it was some distance away, and the moth was on a eucalypt and the pupa on a plantain.

This looks like the pupal skin extruded from the case of Psychidae or Helicosma species.

I think it's a different Depressariidae, Hypertrophinae are a different shape.
