 green, with golden points on the anterior side, and a 

 semicircle of the same color on the dorsal side, a little 

 beyond the middle, separated from a blue band by a row

 Asclepias.

SUBFAMILY NYMPH ALIN^. 



The palpi are approximate, more or less porrect ; the 

 discal cells generally open, and the veins of the fore 

 wings not dilated at the base. The wings are various, 

 but none of ours have as narrow wings as the Helico- 

 ninae. The larvae are cylindrical, and furnished with 

 several (usually seven) rows of more or less branching 

 spines or tubercles. The chrysalides vary from nearly 

 cylindrical to considerably depressed on the dorsal side 

 just back of the thorax, as in Figs. 41, 47, 51, etc.
