About the journal INSECT SYSTEMATICS & EVOLUTION is a journal published for the Scandinavian Society of Entomology representing the national societies of entomology in the Nordic countries. It is sponsored by the national science research councils of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden and appears in one volume (four issues) per year. Each volume consists of 480 pages of high-standard research articles covering all aspects of systematic/evolutionary entomology.
Instructions to Authors
INSECT SYSTEMATICS & EVOLUTION is a peer-reviewed journal dealing with all aspects of systematic/evolutionary entomology. Only unpublished manuscripts based on original research and written in a clear, concise English will be considered. Authors should at an early stage consult an issue of the journal for details of acceptable ‘house style,’ as text requiring extensive editorial effort will not normally be processed. Authors with a native tongue other than English are encouraged to subject their text to linguistic revision before submission. Manuscripts should normally not exceed 45 printed journal pages.
Manuscripts submitted for publication should be delivered in 1 hard copy + 1 digital copy (on a Windows formatted diskette or cdrom) or in 2 hard copies. Manuscripts of potential interest for the journal will be subjected to review by at least one external referee. Authors are notified of acceptance, need of revision, or rejection within a couple of months. After acceptance of a manuscript, authors are requested to deliver the final text in digital format, either on a diskette, cdrom, or by email. One set of proofs is supplied to the corresponding author. The journal makes no page charge except that authors are requested to cover extra costs of colour illustrations. Authors receive together 25 free reprints of a published paper, while further reprints at cost may be ordered at the proof stage. Papers are also available as .pdf files at an additional cost.
General layout of manuscript: The top page should include a title, the name of the author(s) and an abstract followed by the name and address of the author(s). The Title should provide (in parentheses) the order and family of the taxon treated. The Abstract should be concise yet cover the main results of the paper. Any formal changes in current nomenclature or proposals of new names should be mentioned. The Main text should be arranged under a simple hierarchy of headings. Use italics or underline for Latin genus- and species-group names, but keep out other typographical formatting (capital, boldface lettering etc.) not belonging to the ‘house style’ of the journal. Cross-references by page are best avoided. Scale bars only should be used to indicate the size of images. Special symbols, e.g. G and E, should be substituted by more common symbols, e.g. £ and $. Acknowledgements, references, legends, tables and appendices should follow in that order after the main text. Graphics should never be embedded within a text file.
Nomenclature must follow the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (Fourth Edition, 1999). The only acceptable type concepts in the species group are: holotype, paratype, lectotype, paralectotype, neotype and syntype. Use standardised abbreviations as follows: gen. n., sp. n., sp. rev., stat. n., etc. Authorship (unabbreviated) and date should be given once for all genus- and species-group names mentioned.
References in the text are given as Brown (1929); (Brown 1929); Brown & Turner (1932: 56); Brown & al. (1938). Titles gathered under ‘References’ at the end of the paper should conform to the following format:
· [paper in a journal]:
Bolton, B. (1983) The Afrotropical dacetine ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). Bulletin of the British Museum of Natural History (Entomology) 46: 267-416.
· [chapter in a book]:
Tipton, V. J. & Méndez, E. (1966) The fleas (Siphonaptera) of Panama. Pp. 289-338, pl. 47-93 in Wenzel, R. L. & Tipton, V. J.: Ectoparasites of Panama. xii + 861 pp. Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, Ill.
· [book]:

Names of journals should either be written in full (preferred option), or abbreviated in absolute agreement with World List of Scientific Periodicals; other formats of abbreviation will not be accepted.
Illustrations, tables and appendices should contribute significantly to the main text. In planning tables and plates of illustrations, due consideration should be paid to the format of the journal (printed page 19.5 x 14 cm; single column 19.5 x 6.7 cm). It is a task of the authors (not the editorial office!) to perform proper trimming, mounting and labelling of images. Illustrations should either be delivered as original artwork, photographic copies, or as graphics files of printing quality (preferred formats: .tif and .jpg). Images should be scanned with a resolution of at least 600 dpi for line drawings and 300 dpi for halftones. Original artwork should not be forwarded till after a manuscript has been accepted for publication and will only be returned when specifically requested by the author.
