The furthest you can get with this is Perginae. This is one of the Myrtaceae feeding genera which includes Acanthoperga, Antiperga, Paraperga, Perga, Peragrapta, Pseudoperga and Xyloperga.

As there is are no systematic references or diagnostic characteristics of the larvae and with over 50 species within this grouping, it's almost impossible to determine the species, let alone genera in which they belong to.
