The world's literature is searched systematically, and it is intended that every work on Lepidoptera published after 1946 will be noticed here. Papers of only local interest and papers from this Joumal are listed without abstract. Read ers, not in North America, interested in assisting with the abstracting, are invited to write Dr. P. F . Bellinger (Department of Biological Sciences, San Fernando Valley State College, Northridge, California, U.S.A.). Abstractor's initials are as follows: [P.B.] - P. F. BELLINGER [W.H.] - W.
