[Leps-l] help with identification of a lepidopteran larvae from Bolivia

[Dhileepan, Kunjithapatham]

Hi all,
Recently we found a larvae (photo enclosed) feeding on Jatropha gossypiifolia in Bolivia.
I would very much appreciate, if any of you could help with its identification, even up to genus level or at least family level, would be helpful.
I would be able to send more photos of the larva, if that would help.
J. gossypiifolia is a major weed in Australia, and we are looking for specialist insect herbivores as weed biological control agents.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Dhileepan
