You are invited to submit research papers for possible inclusion in a first volume of
the new book series “Biodiversity, Biogeography and Nature Conservation in
Wallacea and New Guinea” (ISBN 978-9984-9768-4-6). The book series will be
dedicated to the taxonomy and systematic of plants and animals as well as
biogeographical, ecological and conservation research of the region of Indo-
Australian transition. This book series will be published on a regular base every 2-4
years. The “Biodiversity, Biogeography and Nature Conservation in Wallacea and
New Guinea” welcomes survey and review papers from senior researchers and
scientists.

Contributors from both zoology and botany (sensu lato) are welcome to contribute
to the current issue. Terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems will be covered.

The main geographical focus of the current issue will include Sulawesi, Lesser Sunda
Islands (also known as Nusa Tenggara), the Moluccas, New Guinea (including Raja
Ampat, Bismarck and Louisiade archipelagoes), and the Solomon Islands.
Biogeographically, this area is commonly known as Wallacea and New Guinea, or as
bioregion of Wallacea and New Guinea. Revisional works may also cover wider
geographical regions with main focus on above mentioned area.

Please inform your intention to submit a paper by e-mail to the chief editor,
including the title of the paper, author(s) names, and abstract. The full manuscript,

Con il reddito dei fondi messi a disposizione dalla Fondazione “Marco Osella”, l’Accademia Nazionale Italiana di Entomologia decide di conferire un Premio a favore di un giovane e valente studioso italiano operante nel campo dell’Entomologia, il quale deve comunque dimostrare di avere proficuamente intrapreso ricerche almeno in uno dei seguenti settori: faunistica, sistematica, rapporti con l’ambiente, valutazione e conservazione della biodiversità, più il testo integrale della presentazione (orale o poster) che egli intenderebbe portare al XXIII Congresso Nazionale Italiano di Entomologia (Genova, 13-16 giugno 2011). Il Premio consisterà nell’iscrizione d’ufficio da parte dell’Accademia al Congresso, più un contributo di € 1500 come rimborso forfetario per spese di viaggio e permanenza per l’intera durata del Congresso medesimo.

Lo spirito dell’iniziativa è quello di incoraggiare un giovane bene avviato in uno dei settori sopra menzionati, che sia  in grado di cogliere l’opportunità per migliorare il proprio inserimento nell’Entomologia nazionale
Coloro che intendono concorrere al Premio devono inviare alla Segreteria dell’Accademia Nazionale Italiana di Entomologia (presso il CRA Centro di Ricerca per l’Agrobiologia e la Pedologia ex Istituto Sperimentale di Zoologia Agraria, Via di Lanciola 12A, 50125 Firenze) entro il 30 settembre 2010 (data della ricevuta di spedizione o del timbro di spedizione):

In 1922 the Society was transferred to the present location in Genoa, hosted by the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale “G. Doria”. In 1936, the Society was established as an “Ente Morale”.

The Società Entomologica Italiana is the only national society devoted to entomology in Italy. It is a non-profit scientific society for the promotion of entomological and natural history culture and for the improvement of basic and applied research on insects.

The main activity is the publication of two periodicals: the “Bollettino della Società Entomologica Italiana”, issued three times per year since 1869, containing original scientific papers, short monographs, book reviews and society news; and the “Memorie della Società Entomologica Italiana”, published annually since 1922, containing larger monographs and systematic reviews. The two periodicals are sent to all members of the Society (nearly 700) and exchanged for other similar periodicals (nearly 400) with major museums and scientific institutions in Italy and abroad.

The Library of the Società Entomologica Italiana - located in Genoa at Corso Torino 19/4 - houses over 400 periodicals, 1100 monographic volumes and more than 7000 publications of entomological miscellanea.
