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:

Ent., vol. 32, 318 pp., 108 figs., 8 plates, 14 maps. 1964. A summary of biologies, geographical distribution, and phylogenetic relationships of and within the Tortricinae, based on observations on the Calif, spp. and on literature for the Nearctic fauna. Comparative biology reveals criteria available for comparison of the three North American tribes of the subfamily. The Archipini is considered to be the most divergent of the three from a presumed ancestral type. Behavioral characteristics of this tribe and the so-called Sparganothinae strongly suggest that the latter group is more closely related to the Archipini than are the Cnephasiini and Tortricini. This confirms the proposal of tribal status for the sparganothines, based on larval characters, by MacKay (1962, Canad. Ent. Suppl. 28). About 35% of the Nearctic fauna, some 57 species, are treated from California, including four spp., and two subspp. described as new: Acleris keiferi (San Francisco; reared from Rubus vitifolia), A. paracinderella (Nevada Co.; reared from Prunus), A. aenigmana (Truckee, Nevada Co.), Choristoneura lambertiana califomica (Ander­son Springs, Lake Co.), Argyrotaenia franciscana insulana (Anacapa Island, Ven­tura Co.), A. isolatissima (Santa Barbara Island, Los Angeles Co.).
