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.
B. SYSTEMATICS AND NOMENCLATURE
Nye, I. W. B., "A new species of Amphipyrinae from Madagascar (Lep. Agrotidae)" [in French]. Rev. franc. Ent., vol.26: pp.50-52, 3 figs. 1959. Description of Sciomesa biluma (holotype from Tananarive), a species from the east and center of Madagascar. [P. V.]
Nystrom, Viking, "Macrolepidoptera from the Cape Verde Islands." Comment, biol., vol.17, no.7: pp. 1-36, 1 table, 1 map. 93 figs. 1958. Deals with the Papilionidae, Pieridae, Danaidas, Nymphalidae, Lycaenidae, Hesperiidse, Sphingidae, Noctuidae, & Arctiidae collected by Prof. Hakan Lindberg & Samuel Panelius in 1953-54 (63 spp.). The male genitalia of a great number of the species are figured. Numerous of the Cape Verde species of the above groups of Lepidoptera are distributed over the continent of Africa and this indicates that the Cape Verde Islands should be referred to the Ethiopian region and not to the Palearctic. A number of the species are well known migrants with very wide distribution in subtropic areas. [W. H.]
