RECENT LITERATURE ON LEPIDOPTERA
(Under the supervision of Peter F. Bellinger)
Under this heading are included abstracts of papers and books of interest to Lepidopterists. 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 and the Journal are listed without abstract. Readers, not in 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.] — P. F. Bellinger; [I.C.] I. F. B. Common; [W.C.] — W. C. Cook; [A.D ] — A. Diakonoff; [W.H.] — W. Hackman; [T.I.] — T. 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.

Summary of his recent work on industrial melanism. Figures 17 British moths in which melanic forms are known, & gives data on genetics & frequency of forms. Reports that when Biston betularia $ $ were released in an industrial area, recovery of melanics exceeded recovery of light form, while in uncontaminated area the reverse was true. Experiments show a significant tendency for both forms to settle on most concealing background. Larvae of the melanic forms develop more slowly than larvae producing normal adults, and melanic forms tend to emerge later; this can be explained either by selection (contamination is least early in year) or by the possibility that larvae of melanic forms are able to excrete toxic substances better by prolonged development. In Cleora repandata melanic form survives better (as larva) under conditions of starvation or polluted food. Selection of 9 9 by $ $ Biston betularia appears to depend on temperature, melanics being preferred at higher temperatures & normals at lower temperatures. Author believes the current spread of melanics in Britain is a redevelopment of an old phenomenon, and that melanics were widespread when the forests of Britain were largely coniferous. Reports that in Scotch pine forests melanics & normals co-occur in balanced polymorphism; in Cleora repandata, melanics are more conspicuous at rest, but normals are more conspicuous in flight, when predation is also frequent.
