Chrysauginae : ウィキペディア英語版 | Chrysauginae
The Chrysauginae are a subfamily of snout moths (family Pyralidae). They are primarily neotropical and include about 400 described species. ==Description and ecology== The subfamily includes the sloth moths (genera ''Cryptoses'', ''Bradypodicola'' and ''Bradypophila''). Adults of these species live in the fur of sloths, while the caterpillar larvae feed on the sloth's dung. Other unusual Chrysauginae caterpillars have been found in Hymenoptera nests and on the spines of caterpillars of the brush-footed butterfly genus ''Automeris''. But usually, their larvae feed on plants, boring into seed, fruits, stems and roots, or rolling and spinning leaves together to form a hideout. While the adults are fairly nondescript, Chrysauginae larvae can usually be recognized unequivocally by the sclerotised ring around seta SD1 of the metathorax.
