RECENT LITERATURE ON LEPIDOPTERA
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. Papers of only local interest and papers from this Journal are listed without abstract. Readers, not in North America, interested in assisting with this very large task, are invited to write Dr. P. F. Bellinger (Dept. of Natural Sciences, San Fernando Valley State College, Northridge, Calif., U. S. A.). Abstractors' initials are as follows:
[P.B.] - P. F. Bellinger [W.H.] - W. Hackman [N.O.] - N. S. Obraztsov
[I.C.] - I. F. B. Common [T.I.] - Taro Iwase [C.R.] - C. L. Remington
[W.C.] - W. C. Cook [J.M.] - J. Moucha [J.T.] - J. W. Tilden
[A.D.] - A. Diakonoff [E.M.] - E. G. Mtjnroe LP.V.] - P. E. L. Viette

A MEXICAN SATYRID AT LIGHT
In view of the recent increased interest in Rhopalocera being attracted to light it is appropriate to note an addition to the body of information on this subject.
A large lepidopteron was taken at some time very near 9:00 pm, Pacific Standard Time, 14 November 1952, at San Bias, Nayarit, Mexico. It was sitting on the ceiling of an outdoor corridor about two feet from a yellow light of the insect-repelling type. The location was a hotel there (the only modern one at that time) on the south edge of town. The place the specimen was taken faced jungle which was about three hundred feet away. The Pacific Ocean was about two hundred feet in the opposite direction.
This specimen was recently identified, with the aid of Dr. C. L. Remington, as Taygetis mermeria Cramer, probably form excavata. Identification was based on figures in Seitz' Macrolepidoptera of the World, Volume 5. The specimen has been placed in the Peabocly Museum of Natural History at Yale University.

BOOK NOTICE
The DYNAMICS OF EPIDEMIC SPRUCE BUDWORM POPULATIONS. Edited by R. F. Morris. Canadian Entomologist, Memoir 31, 332 pp., numerous textfigs., graphs, & halftone plates. May 21, 1963. Paper and cloth.
The spruce budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana (Clem.) (Tortricidae) pobably is the most intensively studied species of Lepidoptera in North America, if not in the world. Its tremdous outbreak capabilities and resultant economic importance to Canadian foresters precipitated a myriad of detailed studies on numerous aspects of its bionomics during the past 20 years.
This monograph is a series of closely related papers presenting the results of population studies on the spruce budworm. It is an attempt to ascertain and model mathematically where possible, the mode of action of the principal variables affecting density of the species. Major topics covered include general bionomics; development of outbreaks; analysis of survival and reproduction in both unsprayed and sprayed areas; a discussion of the major factors and processes affecting the bionomics, including dispersal, hosts and host conditions, parasites, predators, diseases, and insecticides. In all, twelve authors are contributors. — editor
