Wikipedia says Notodontidae are hairless. This seems to be filled with hair.

Wiki says 'hairiness' not 'hairless'. |

Don Herbison-Evans knows a lot about Australian caterpillars, but whether he can help with those form Tanzania, I don't know. Ask him. http://australian-insects.com/lepidoptera/larvae.html |
