THE PAN-PACIFIC ENTOMOLOGIST 
Information for Contributors 
Papers on the systematic and biological phases of entomology are favored, including short notes or articles up to ten printed pages, 
on insect taxonomy, morphology, ecology, behavior, life history, and distribution. Excess pagination must be approved and will be 
charged to the author. Papers are published after acceptance in approximately the order that they are received. Papers of less than a 
printed page will be published as space is available, in Scientific Notes. 
All manuscripts will be reviewed before acceptance. 
Manuscripts for publication, proofs, and all editorial matters should be addressed to the editor. 
General. — The metric system is to be used exclusively in manuscripts, except when citing label data on type material, or in direct 
quotations when cited as such. Equivalents in other systems may be placed in parentheses following the metric, i.e. “1370 m (4500 
ft) elevation”. 
Typing. — Two copies of each manuscript must be submitted (original and one xerox copy or two xerox copies are suitable). All 
manuscripts must be typewritten, double-spaced throughout, with ample margins, and be on bond paper or an equivalent weight. 
Carbon copies or copies on paper larger than 8'/2 x 11 inches are not acceptable. 
Underscore only where italics are intended in the body of the text. Number all pages consecutively and put authors name on each 
sheet. References to footnotes in text should be numbered consecutively. Footnotes must be typed on a separate sheet. 
Manuscripts with extensive corrections or revisions will be returned to the author for retyping. 
First Page. — The page preceding the text of the manuscript must include (1) the complete title, (2) the order and family in parentheses, 
(3) the author's name or names, (4) the institution with city and state or the author’s home city and state if not affiliated (5) the 
complete name and address to which proof is to be sent. 
Names and descriptions of organisms. — The first mention of a plant or animal should include the full scientific name with the author 
of a zoological name not abbreviated. Do not abbreviate generic names. Descriptions of taxa should be in telegraphic style. The 
International Code of Zoological Nomenclature must be followed. 
Tables. — Tables are expensive and should be kept to a minimum. Each table should be prepared as a line drawing or typed on a 
separate page with heading at top and footnotes below. Number tables with Arabic numerals. Number footnotes consecutively for 
each table. Use only horizontal rules. Extensive use of tabular material requiring typesetting may result in increased charges to the 
author. 
Illustrations. — No extra charge is made for line drawings or halftones. Submit only photographs on glossy paper and original drawings. 
Authors must plan their illustrations for reduction to the dimension of the printed page (117 x 181 mm; 4% x 714 inches). If possible, 
allowance should be made for the legend to be placed beneath the illustration. Photographs should not be less than the width of the 
printed page. Photographs should be mounted on stiff card stock, and bear the illustration number on the face. 
Loose photographs or drawings which need mounting and/or numbering are not acceptable. Photographs to be placed together should 
be trimmed and abut when mounted. Drawings should be in India Ink, or equivalent, and at least twice as large as the printed 
illustration. Excessively large illustrations are awkward to handle and may be damaged in transit. It is recommended that a metric 
scale be placed on the drawing or the magnification of the printed illustration be stated in the legend where applicable. Arrange 
figures to use space efficiently. Lettering should reduce to no less than 1 mm. On the hack of each illustration should be stated (1) 
the title of the paper, (2) the author’s complete name and address, and (3) whether he wishes the illustration returned to him. 
Illustrations not specifically requested will be destroyed. Improperly prepared illustrations will be returned to the author for correction 
prior to acceptance of the manuscript. 
Figure legends. — Legends should be typewritten double-spaced on separate pages headed EXPLANATION OF FIGURES and placed 
following LITERATURE CITED. Do not attach legends to illustrations. 
References. — All citations in text, e.g., Essig (1926) or (Essig 1958), must be listed alphabetically under LITERATURE CITED in the 
following format: 
Essig, E. O. 1926. A butterfly migration. Pan-Pac. Entomol., 2:211-212. 
Essig, E. O. 1958. Insects and mites of western North America. Rev. ed. The Macmillan Co., New York, 1050 pp. 
Abbreviations for titles of journals should follow the list of Biological Abstracts, 1966, 47(21):8585-8601. For Scientific Notes the 
citations to articles will appear within the text, i.e. . . . “Essig (1926, Pan-Pac. Entomol., 2:211-212) noted . . .”. 
Proofs, reprints, and abstracts. — Proofs and forms for the abstract and reprint order will be sent to authors. Major changes in proof 
will be charged to the author. Proof returned to the editor without the abstract will not be published. 
Page charges. — All regular papers of one to ten printed pages are charged at the rate of $18.00 per page. Private investigators or 
authors without institutional or grant funds may apply to the society for a grant to cover a portion of the page charges. In no case 
will society grants subsidize more than two thirds of the cost of page charges. Individuals receiving a society subsidy thus will be 
billed a minimum of $6.00 per page. Pages additional to the first ten are charged at the rate of $30.00 per page, without subsidy. Page 
charges are in addition to the charge for reprints and do not include the possible charges for extra pagination or the costs for 
excessive changes after the manuscript has been sent to the printer. 
Reprint costs. — Current charges for reprints are approximately as listed below. These charges are subject to change, and authors will 
be billed at the rate in effect at the time of publication.
