RECENT LITERATURE ON LEPIDOPTERA
(Under the supervision of Peter F. Bellinger)
Under this heading are included abstracts of papers and books of interest to Lepid-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, 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 (Dept. of Natural Sciences, San Fernando Valley State College, North-ridge, Calif., U. S. A.). Abstractors' initials are as follows: [P.B.J — 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.] — E. G.

This paper is exactly the model of a badly presented note. The study of the author is perhaps available, but the presentation is nonsense from beginning to end. Publication of such a paper is a nuisance to the literature and jumbles an already complicated question like the study of the Zygasnidae. First, the title has no indication of genus and family names; scabiosa should be scabiosae; and the fact that romeo has priority is badly indicated. The first part of the paper is devoted to the biology of Zygcena romeo. The eggs and the first stages of the larvae are found on Lathyrus and the last stages, after the winter, on Vicia. It is the second part, devoted to the taxonomy, that is incomprehensible. The author (p. 15) writes: "Zy-

In the legend of plate B, it is written: "Prep. n°. 301 Scabiosa vogesiaca" as if these were the generic and specific names; this should read Zygcena scabiosce vogesiaca. Furthermore, the localities are erroneous. No holotype is indicated for the new subspecies Z. s. vogesiaca. It is necessary to guess that the ssp. of Z. scabiosce from the Haute-Savoie area (Alps) — expansa — is new; this is indicated only on plate B. The ssp. of the Hautes-Alpes arear 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, Z. 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. franc.

1958 ANNUAL MEETING 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 Kent H. Wilson of the Dept. of Entomology. The Program Chairman is Paul R. Ehrlich. Submitted papers should be sent to the Program Chairman at the Department of Entomology, University of Kansas, after August 15th. Papers should be submitted before November 1st. A circular concerning reservations etc. will be sent out sometime in the fall.
