Does the casing suggest Arctiinae or are there others that make these types of casings?

Maybe spider egg sac. Did you (carefully) dissect it?

@donhe i'm sure it was a pupa - in person I could see the shiny shell with ridges. The detail is degraded in the photos on here, not sure why, so I've emailed you the originals.

I think the system displays in lower resolution but if you click on "original" in the lower left corner, it displays the original.
