It certainly has feathery-horns (Greek ptero-cera). They have a white flagellum, so perhaps is P. leucocera ?

I think Chelepteryx collesi smooths out the outlines of the pupa, making it look like bulge on the trunk. @HelenCross : could you open them (carefully) and take the pupae into protective custody, and see what the adult moth looks like when one emerges in due course ?
