1958 The Lepidoplrrisls' News 57

RECENT LITERATURE ON (Under the supervision of PETER F. BEI.J.INGER)

Under this heading are included ahstracts of papers and books of interest to Lepid­ terists. The world's literature is searched systematically, and it is intended that every work on L epidoptera published after 1946 will be noticed h ere; omissions of papers more than 3 or 4 years old should be called to Dr. BEI.J.INGER 'S attention. New genera and higher categories are shown in CAPITALS, new species and subspecies are noted, with type localities if given in print. Larval foodplants are usually listed. Critical comments by abstractors may be made. Papers of only local interest and papers from The Le pido pferis!s' News are listed without abstract. Readers, pa rticula rJ y outside of North America, interested in assisting with this very la rge task, are invited to write Dr. BELLIN GER (Dept. of Natural Sciences, San Fernando Valley State College, North­ ridge, Calif., U. S. A.). Abstractors' initials are as follows: [P.B.] - P. F. BEI.LIN­ GER; [I.C.J - I. F. B. COMMON; [W.c.J - w. c. COOK; [A.D.J - A. DIAKONOFF; [W.H.J - W. HACKMA N; [J.M.J - ]. MOUCHA ; [E.M.] - E.

A and B, pI s. V-VII. 1957. This paper is exactl y the model of a badly presented note. The stud y of the author is perhaps available, but the presentation is nonsense from he­ ginning to end. Publication of such a paper is a nuisance to the literature and jumbles an already complicated question like the study of the Zygaenidae. First, the title bas no indication of genus and family names; s({lbiosa should be scabiosae; and the fact that rOllleo has priority is badly indicated. The first part of the paper is devoted to the biology of Zygcella romeo. The eggs and the first stages of the larvae are found on Luthyrus and the last stages, after the winter, on Vicia . It is the second part, devoted to the taxonomy, that is incomprehensible. The author (I'. 15) writes: "Zy- 62 Voi.12: nos.1-2

g(ena SrabioJ(£ [why ca pital?] Scheven:=tr;marula E ngramelle ," but lower down: "Ir;marula ssp. nova." In the legend of plate B, it is written: "Prep. n °. 301 SrabioSte vogesiara" as if these were the generic and specific names; this should read Zyga'na s('{lbiosa' vogesiar{l. Furthermore, the localities are erroneous. No holotype is indicated for the new subspecies 7. s. 'Uogesiat{l. It is necessary to guess that the ssp. of Z. sr{lbioste from the Haute-Savoie area (Alps ) - expan5a - is new; this is indicated only on plate B. The ssp. of the Hautes-Alpes areal' dedicated to Dr. Droit (p. 20) is described (?) but not named. The new ssp. atlantica, from Morocco, is named but not described; in the next, it is a ssp. of Z. romeo, and on plate V (not VI as indicated) a ssp. of Z. nevadensis. A new species, 7. agenjoi, is described from Spain; no indication of holotype or type locality. It would be possible to cite other examples of errors in this very bad paper, but it is necessary to stop here. [P.V.] Le Marchand, S., "Respect a la loi" [in French]. Rev. fran('. L;pid., vol. 14: pp 66-69. 1953. Calls attention to rule that a genus must always incillde the species first selected as its type.

1958 ANNUAL MSETING TO BE AT LAWRENCE, KANSAS

This year's meeting will be held at the Department of Entomology, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas, on Monday and Tuesday, 29 and 30 December. Plans are being made for a symposium, round table discussions, and one or two open paper sessions. The Department is one of the centers of training in systematic entomology in the United States, and the Snow Entomological Museum houses one of the finest insect collections in the country. No previous meeting of the Society hasc been held in this part of the country, and it is hoped that many members who have never been to an annual meeting will be able to attend. Chairman of the Local Arrangements Committee is KE:-lT R. WILSON of the Dept. of Entomology. The Program Chairman is PAUL R. EHRLICH. Submitted papers should be sent to the Program Chairman at the Depart­ ment of Entomology, University of Kansas, a/tn August 15th. Papers should be sub­ mitted before November 1st. A circular concerning reservations etc. will be sent out sometime in the fall. P. R. EHRLICH
