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 foodplants are usually listed. Critical comments by abstractors may be made. Papers of only local interest and papers from The Lepidopterists' News are listed without abstract. Readers, particularly outside of North America, interested in assisting with this very large task, are invited to write Dr. BELLINGER (University College of the West Indies, Mona, St. Andrew, Jamaica, B.W.I.). Abstractors' initials are as follows: [P.B.] — P. F. BELLINGER; [I.C.] —I. F. B. Common; [W.C.J— W. C. Cook; [A.D.] — A. Diakonoff; [W.H.] —W. HACKMAN; [J.M.]—J. MOUCHA; [E.M.] — E. G. MuNROE; [N.O.] — N. S. Obraztsov; [C.R.J —C. L. Remington; [J.T.] — J. W. Tilden; [P.V.] — P. E. L. Viette.

E. nivalis (chromosome number n=ll) and E. callis (n=15) are probably good species; E. calcarius is also no doubt a good species; the problem of E. tyndarus & E. cassioides (both^n=10) remains. [P.

Lambillionea, vol.54: pp.58-67, 78-86, 2 figs. 25 D . 1954. New notes on the relationship between E. tyndarus and E. cassioides. The subspecies ("race" in the French text) aquitania belongs to cassioides, as well as the subspp. macedonica, illyrica, and illyromacedonica. The distribution of E. tyndarus is not as extensive as was thought, being limited to the central Alps. The authors distinguish a new semispecies nivalis, the altitudinal population of Pasterzen. As concluded from previous studies, in place of two species E. tyndarus and E. cassioides, we have today the two species E. hispania and E. tyndarus, this last with two semispecies E. (t.) cassioides and E. (t.) nivalis. The end of the paper is a long study of the contact areas between E. (t.) tyndarus, E. (/.) cassioides, and E. (t.) nivalis. [P.V.]
