Could be Trigonocyttara or Bathromelas. Cases rather similar. Can you rear it to an adult please to determine the species?

Thank you. Sorry we left it where it was on a flower at the ANBG.

Next time you photograph a caterpillar ,please take it into protective custody (the mortality rate of caterpillars left in the wild is above 99%) and rear it to an adult moth if you want its species identified.
