BOOK NOTICE

A REVISION OF THE MELITAEINE GENUS CHLOSYNE AND ALLIED SPECIES (Lepidoptera: Nyphalinae). By L. G. Higgins. Trans. Royal Ent. Soc. London, 112 (14): 381-475, 134 figs. Dee. 31, 1960. 2. 25. Od. ($5.88). Paper.

Judging from several manuscripts submitted to the fournal for publication recently, it appears that a number of members of the Society are unaware of Higgins' revision. This treatment is based on structural characters including genitalia of both scxes, wing venation, and labial palpus. In general the arrangement is similar to that of Bauer (1961, in Ehrlich, How to Know the Butterflies) for Nearctic species which was in press concurrently.

Higgins ascribes Melitaea F. to the North American fauna for minuta Edw. and allies for which Bauer proposed the new genus Poladryas. Other noteworthy differences include Higgins' use of Thessalia Scudder for leanira Feld. & Feld. and theona Men., and Texola Higgins, 1959, for elada Hew., all of which are retained in Chlosyne by Bauer. In addition, Higgins proposes a new genus, Dymasia, for dymas Edw., considering it to be sufficiently distinct from Microtia elva Bates. Many differences exist between the two treatments at the specific and subspecific levels; Higgins' concepts include treatment of the Neotropical representatives of the group. Both arrangements should supercede that of dos Passos' list (1964, Synonymic List of Nearctic Rhopalocera) whcre these species are lumped under Melitaea, a concept dating back to the time of dos Passos' original manuscript, about 1959. - EDITOR
