	1956	The Lepidopterists' News	121
	RECENT LITERATURE ON LEPIDOPTERA (Under the supervision of Peter F. Bellinger) 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; omissions of papers more than 3 or 4 years old should be called to Dr. BELLINGER'S attention. New genera and higher categories are shown in CAPITALS, with types in parentheses; new species and subspecies are noted, with type localities if given in print. Larval foodplants are usually listed. Critical comments by abstractors may be made. Papers of only local interest and papers from The Lepidopterists' News are listed without abstract. Readers, particularly outside of North America, interested in assisting with this very large task, are invited to write Dr. BELLINGER (Osborn Zoological Lab., Yale University, New Haven 11, Conn., U. S. A.) Abstractors' initials are as follows: [P.B.] — P. F. BELLIN­GER; [I.C.] — I. F. B. Common; [W.C.J — W. C. Cook; [A.D.] — A. Diakonoff; [W.H.] — W. HACKMAN; [J.M.] — J. MOUCHA; [E.M.] — E. G. MUNROE; [N.O.] — N. S. Obraztsov; [C.R.] - C. L. Remington; [J.T.] — J. W. Tilden; [P.V.] — P. E. L. VlETTE.

All walkeri X pryeri and walkeri X ricini hybrids show 12 bivalents and one trivalent, except Manchurian walkeri X pryeri which shows 10 bivalent, 1 trivalent, 1 quadrivalent. "Racial" differ­entiation probably due to duplication of one chromosome pair; Manchurian and Korean races of walkeri differ in a reciprocal translocation, with pryeri having the Manchurian type and ricini having the Korean type. No pryeri X ricini crosses reported. [C.R.]
