On iv;ichin^ luatiiiily tlu- hcaci is siii;ill, the body , cylindrical, without hair, and conspicuously banded with dark stripes upon a lighter ground, and on some of the segments there are generally erect fleshy processes of considerable length (see Fig. i6). The caterpillars feed upon different species of the milk- weed {Asiiepias). Chrysalis.—The chrysalis is relatively short and thick, rounded, with very few projections, tapers very rapidly over the posterior part of the abdomen, and is suspended by a long cremaster from a button of silk (see Fig. 24). The chrysalis is frequently orna- mented with golden or silver spots. This subfamily reaches its largest development in the tropical regions of Asia. Only one genus is represented in our fauna, the genus Anosia. Genus ANOSIA, Hubner 5////^r^)'.—Large-sized butterflies; fore wings long, greatly produced at the apex, having a triangular outline, the outer mar- gin approximately as long as the inner margm; the costal border is regularly bowed; the outer border is slightly exca- vated, the outer angle rounded; the hind wings are well rounded, the costal border projecting just at the base, the inner mar- gin likewise projecting at the base and depressed so as to form a channel clasp- ing the abdomen. On the edge of the first median nervule of the male, about its middle, there is a scent-pouch covered with scales. £^^. —The egg is ovate conical, ribbed perpendicularly with many raised cross- lines between the ridges. The eggs are pale green in color. Caterpillar.—'X\\Q. caterpillar is cylin- drical, fleshy, transversely wrinkled, and has on the second tho- racic and eighth abdominal segment pairs of very long and slender fleshy filaments; the body is ornamented by dark bands upon a greenish-yellow ground-color; the filaments are black. 81.
