UTETHEISA - illustrated keys?

[ernst neering]

Maybe LEPS-L subscribers also enjoy the following, therefor I copy to the 
list.

With reference to your request, I looked at Biological Abstracts from 1992 
and CABI from 1972 onwards. I found only one suitable one: 
Ruiz Rodriguez, V.H. 1989 (published in 1990?). Taxonomic revision of the 
Chilean Arctiidae. Gayana Zoologia 53 (4): 117-181.

As I had some time today, I scanned Zoological Records from 1921 to 1996 for 
references to Utetheisa and found following:

The search brought me many happy memories. Bang-Haas, that was around the 
time of Seitz' Grossschmetterlinge der Erde; Forbes, oh yes, Fauna of Barro 
Colorados Island and the same family name as Henri O. Forbes who followed 
Wallace's footsteps in Indonesia now 100 years ago; Alan Hayes the former 
police constable turned taxonomist; Howarth, yes work is done also during 
wars....; Jordan, the private taxonomist of Lord Rothchild, who had his 
private Tring Museum, before the collections were brought into BM(NH); 
Roepke, former professor at Wageningen, his collections are now all in Leiden 
Museum; Viette, described a number of Ctenuchids, my favorite group, Wolcott, 
the "bible" of caribbean pests.
It was fun, and costed me only three hours, because not so much work is done 
on these conspicuous moths!

Success in finding copies of these
