1957 TIll' LepidopteristJ' News 63

RECENT LITERATURE ON (Cnder the supervision of PETER F. BELLINGER) Under this heading are included abstracts of papers anel books of interest to lepi­ dopterists. The world's literature is searched systematically, and it is intended that eve ry work on Lepidoptera published after 1946 will be floticed here; omissions of papers more than 3 or 4 years old should he called to Dr. BELLINGER'S attention. New genera and higher categories a re shown in CAPITALS, with types in parentheses; new species and subspecies are noted, with type localities if given in print. Larval foodplants are usually listed. Critical comments by abstractors may he made. Papers of only local interest and papers from The Lepidopterists' News are listed without abstract. Readers, particularly outside of Nortb America, interested in assisting with this very large task, are invited to write Dr. BELLI NGE R (Osborn Zoological Lah., Yale University, New Haven 11, Coon., U.S.A.) Abstractors' initia ls are as follows: [P.B.] - P. F. BELLINGER; [I. C.] I. F. B. COMMON ; [W. C.] - W. C. COOK; [A. D.] - A. DIAKONOFF; [W. H.] - W. HACKMAN; [J. M.] - J. MOUCHA; [E. M.l - E. G.
