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-opterists. 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 (San Fernando Valley State College, Northridge, Calif., U.S.A.). Abstractor's initials 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; [T.I.] — Taro Iwase ; [J.M.] — J. Moucha; [E.M.] — E. G. Munroe; [N.O.] — N. S. Obraztsov; [C.R.] — C. L. Remington; [J.T.] — J. W. Tilden ; [P.V.] — P. E. L. Viette.

The paper is based on an unfinished manuscript by Toxopeus, and the new names (except those marked with an asterisk) should apparently be credited to him. 53 spp. and numerous sspp. are recorded, with descriptive notes on those already known; distribution is discussed at length, and biology & flight habits are described when known. The extraordinary development of the genus in New Guinea is revealed by the fact that the collections on which this paper is based were made in only 2 rather small areas; the present total of 72 species in the island will very likely increase still further.

Systematic notes on papers by Zerny on Lepidoptera from Lebanon & from Atlas Mts., & by Schwingenschuss on Lepidoptera from Iran (citations incomplete). New entities very briefly described, without figures or mention of type specimens or type localities.

Discusses 4 cases in which aberrational name was elevated, thereby changing its meaning, & proposes new names for 2 sspp.: Hyperm-nestra helios hyrcana, & Parnassius nomion irkutskensis. The cases discussed are unfortunate, but by the present rules the new names are junior synonyms, respectively, of persica Rothschild & dis Bryk & Eisner (authorities for these names are the authors who first treated them as being of subspecific rank).

Populations are larger on flowering trees, which are preferred for oviposition; they provide sites for hiber-nacula (in flower scars) & a succulent food source in early spring (staminate flowers). Larval development was accelerated when pollen was included in diet, & retarded if larvae were forced to eat old growth exclusively. [P. B.]

Blest, A. D., "The function of eyespot patterns in the Lepidoptera" [in English; German summary]. Behaviour, vol. 11: pp. 209-256, 14 figs. 1957. Demonstrates that large eyespot patterns (such as those of Nymphalis io) release escape responses in birds, & that small eyespot patterns direct the attacks of birds toward themselves. The responses of the birds are innate; the former response, at least, may be suppressed after experience with edible butterflies which have eyespots. The protective value of eyespots, either in frightning predators or in directing their attacks to parts which are not vital, seems well established. [P. B.]

Bombyx mori eggs incubated in dark at 15° C. produce moths which develop without diapause; but if brain is removed from moth directly after pupation, eggs laid enter diapause. The factor producing diapause is produced by the subesophageal ganglion in the absence of the suppressing effect of the brain. [P. B.]

Transplanting ganglion from Bombyx mori larvae which would, as adults, lay dia-pausing eggs, to other larvae which normally would not, results in laying of dia-pausing eggs by recipients. Subesophageal ganglia from Lymantria dispar, Dictyop-loca japonica, or Antheraa larvae were equally effective. [P. B.]

[P. B.]
Fukuda, Soichi, "Determination of voltinism in the multivoltine Silkworm." Proc. Japan Acad., vol. 29: pp. 385-388. 1953. Presents evidence that in multivoltine races of Bombyx mori the production of egg-diapause hormone by the subesophageal ganglion is inhibited by the brain; in some races the occurrence of this inhibition depends on environmental conditions during development. [P. B.]
Fukuda, Soichi, "Alteration of voltinism in the Silkworm following transection of pupal oesophageal connectives." Proc. Japan Acad., vol. 29: pp. 389-391. 1953.
