SUPPLEMENT TO THE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE DE- 
SCRIBED LIFE-HISTORIES OF THE RHOPALOCERA 
OF AMERICA NORTH OF MEXICO 
By V. G. Dethier 
Ohio State University 
In the Bibliography of the Described Life-Histories of the 
Rhopalocera of America North of Mexico 1889-1937 (Daven- 
port and Dethier, 1938) an attempt was made to bring up to 
date the section on Rhopalocera of the Bibliographical Cata- 
logue of Henry Edwards (1889). During the eight years that 
have elapsed since the appearance of the former not a few new 
life histories have been described. Lacunae in the descriptions 
of previously known life histories have also been filled. It is 
felt that a supplement at this time may be of assistance to those 
engaged in this field of study. Accordingly the following list 
patterned after the 1938 bibliography is offered. McDun- 
nough’s (1938) check list, which was published after the ap- 
pearance of the bibliography, is now followed. 
For additional data on feeding habits the reader is referred 
to Comstock (192 7), Wolcott (1936), Field (1938), and Hay- 
ward (1941).
