RECENT LITERATURE ON LEPIDOPTERA
(Under the supervision of Peter F. Bellinger)
Under this heading are included abstracts of papers and b:)oks 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.). Abstractors' 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. Motjcha; [E.M.] — E. G. Munroe; [N.O.] — N. S. Obraztsov; [CR.] — C. L. Remington; [J.T.] — J. W. Tilden ; [P.V.] — P. E. L. Viette.

Journ. exper. Zool., vol.134: pp.315-326, 4 figs. 1957. Medial & lateral groups of neurosecretory cells in brain normally connect with each other through the nerves to the corpora cardiaca; if these nerves are cut, the 2 groups of cells become connected by a secondary nerve network. This connection is essential for the production of the brain hormone. It is suggested that the corpora cardiaca function as a site for combination of substances produced by the 2 groups of neurosecretory cells to form this hormone. [P.B.]
