1956 The Lepidopterists' News 179
RECENT LITERATURE ON LEPIDOPTERA
(Under the supervision of PETER F. BELLINGER) Under this heading are included abstracts of papers and books of interest to lepidop terists. The world's literature is searched systematically, and it is intended that every work on Lepidoptera published after 1946 will be noticed here; omissions of papers more than 3 or 4 years old should be called to Dr, BELLINGER'S attention, New genera and higher categories are shown in CAPITALS, with types in parentheses; new species and subspecies are noted, with type localities if given in print. Larval food plants are usually listed, Critical comments by abstractors may be made, Papers of only local interest and papers from The Lepidopterists' l\'e/l's are listed without abstract, Readers, particularly outside of North America, interested in assisting with this very large task, are invited to write Dr. BELLINGER (Osborn Zoological Lab., Yale University, New Haven ll, Conn., U. S. A.) Abstractors' initials are as follows: [P.B.) - P. F. BELLIN GER; [I.C] - I. F. B. COMMON; [W.C)- W. C COOK; [A.D.] - A. DIAKONOFF; [W.H.l- W. HACKMAN; (J.M.l-]. MOUCl-IA; [E.M.] - E. G.
