RECENT LITERATURE ON LEPIDOPTERA
Under this heading are listed each month papers on Lepidoptera from all the scientific journals which are accessible to us and our cooperating abstractors. It is hoped that eventually our coverage of the world's literature will be virtually complete. It is intended that every paper and book published after 1946 will be included. Abstracts give all new subspecies and higher categories, with type localities and generotypes. Papers of only local interest are merely listed. Papers devoted entirely to economic aspects will be omitted. Reprints are solicited from all publishing members. Initials of cooperating abstractors are as follows: [P.B.] -P. F. Bellinger; [A.D.] -A. DIAKONOFF; [G.dL.] -G. DE LATTIN; [Y.O.] - Y. Okada; [C.R.] - C. L. REMINGTON; [T.S.] -T. Shir6zu. A complete set of these pages, for clipping and filing, may be obtained for Vol. 4 and Vol. 5 and a subscription for Vol. 6 for $ 0.50 per volume.
