BOOK REVIEWS. 



BiOLOGiA Centrali-Americana. Insecta, Lepidoptera — Hetero- 

 cera, Vol. IV, Tineina, Pterophorina, Orneodinaand Pyralidina 

 and Hepialina (part). By the Right Hon. Lord Walsingham, 

 1909-1915, London. 



Volume IV of the Biologia Centrali-Americana, by Lord 

 Walsingham, a most important contribution to our knowledge of 

 the Micro-lepidoptera, has, up to the present time, not been re- 

 viewed by any of the entomological journals of the United States 

 or of Canada. This is probably due, not to a failure to appreciate 

 it at its true value, but to the fact that Mr. August Busck, the one 

 best fitted to make the review, of American micro-lepidopterists, 

 assisted in the work of its preparation. The present writer does not 

 intend this to be taken in the sense of a review, but rather as a note 

 of congratulation which may call more general attention to the 

 successful completion of this great work, in which the micro- 

 lepidopterist is more especially interested. 



The volume comprises an exhaustive study of the Tineina, 

 Pterophorina and Orneodina of Central America, and includes also 

 a few species of Pyralidina and Hepialina, as additions to the list 

 given by Mr. H. Druce, in vols. I and II of the Biologia Centrali- 

 Americana. 



There are listed 1,025 species, 225 genera and 27 families, of 

 which 586 species, 54 genera and 2 families are described as new. 



In the majority of instances descriptions of new genera are ac- 

 companied by cuts, from drawings made by Mr. J. H. Durrant,
