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 the abstracting, are invited to write Dr. P. F. Bellinger (Department of Biological Sciences, San Fernando Valley State College, Northridge, California, U.S.A.). Abstractor's 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 [T.L.] — T. W. Langer [J.T ] — J. W. Tilden

Review shows that only the most elementary experimental techniques (e.g. association of sexes, forms, and stages by rearing) have been widely used, and that the use of cytological, physiological, and other nonmorpho-logical criteria is in its infancy, even in such groups as Drosophila which have been studied intensively.
