Could be Oplodontha or O. tigrina. The picture (that is the larva) is too dark to be certain. The problem with O. viridula larva is that there are two different colorpatterns (male and female?) a lighter one with this white broad stripe and a darker variant, with only a few smaller yellowish stripes. This colorpattern is almost similar to O. tigrina, but the latter has different hairs on the body and no hairbrushes at the ventral side of the head.
