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. Rellinger (Dept. of Natural Sciences, San Fernando Valley State College, Northridge, Calif., U. S. A.). Abstractors' initials are as follows:
[P.R.] - P. F. Rellinger      [W.H.] - W. Hackman        [N.O.] - N. S. Obraztsov
[I.C.] - I. F. R. Common     [T.I.] - Taro Iwase             [C.R.] - C. L. Remington
[W.C.] - W. C. Cook            [J.M.] - J. Moucha               [J.T.] - J. W. Tilden
