I'm not thinking about any name for this but you could use the latin name between brackets Endoxyla leucomochla
(underline separately both words if possible, the first one with a capital and the scond without)
you could possibly try 'endoxyle' too though I have no reference for it as such.

chenille du Wijuti
ce sont des chenilles (Xyleutes - xylophage qui vivent dans le désert) et se nourrissent de la sève d'un buisson (le Wijuti) du Bush australien)
"The Witchetty (Wijuti) Grub is generally the Caterpillar of Endoxyla leucomochla". Witchedty n'est qu'une déformation du nom de l'arbre : Witjuti, Witchedy, Wichetty, Witchety, witchjetti ou encore Witchetty Grub - et donc association arborigène . sorcellerie
