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

Warren, B. C. S., "The androconial scales and their bearing on the question of speciation in the genus Pieris (Lepidoptera)." Ent. Tidskr., 82: 121-148, 72 figs. 1961. Describes as new P. higginsi ( Haji Omran, Iraq, 5,000-5,500 ft.). Describes these scales in sspp. of rapae, napi, & melete groups, and in races of P. napi & P. bryoniae especially. The former "races" leucosmoa, dulcinea, japonica, pseudorapae, segonzaci, venosa, narina, nesis, & orientis are regarded as specifically distinct. The independence of P. napi & P. bryoniae is supported by the tendency to abnormality in the androconia of hybrids, while these scales in P. n. napi X P- n. adalwinda hybrids are intermediate and normal. Seasonal variation in P. b. "flavescens" from Hasli Tal, Switzerland, is described from bred specimens. P. napi is considered entirely palearctic; North American races belong to bryoniae or to venosa (including virginiensis). [P. B.]

bryoniae, and marginalis as a ssp. of P. napi; P. oleracea, P. rnogollon, P. venosa, & P. virginiensis are regarded as probably derived from an ancestor like P. narina. [P. B.]
