O. Merkl szerk.: Folia Entomologica Hungarica 67. (Budapest, 2006)

FOLIA ENTOMOLOGICA HUNGARICA Instruction to authors Folia entomologica hungarica is an international journal, which is a non-profit oriented publication forum for accepted papers in the fields of entomology. It is published yearly by the Hungarian Entomological Society (HES) and the Hungarian Natural History Museum (HNHM). Manuscripts are accepted if they are at least partly based on materials deposited in one of the public entomological collections in Hungary; or at least one of the authors is a Hungarian entomologist, and if primary types of newly described species-group taxa are deposited in a public collection (not necessarily in Hungary). Submission of a paper implies that it has not been published previously and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Copyright belongs to the author(s). Manuscripts must be written in English with British spelling, exceptionally in German or in French. All manuscripts must be submitted to the editor (Dr. OTTÓ MERKL). Entire manuscripts must be submitted via e-mail or on IBM compatible floppy disk (saved as Word for Windows) and in duplicate printed copies, and the author should retain a copy. In the case of multiple authors, the corresponding author should be indicated. Manuscripts must be printed with double spacing (including the reference list) and with wide margins (30-35 mm) on one side of the sheet only. Authors are requested to keep their communications as concise as possible. Footnotes should be avoided or minimised. The manuscript should contain the following information: Title should be followed by the name and full address (including e-mail address) of the author(s). Abstract should be a brief summary of the contents and conclusions of the paper, and should not be longer than 200 words and should not contain references. Key words should not be more than ten key word entries. Introduction should contain a brief survey of the relevant literature and the reasons for doing the work. Materials and Methods should supply sufficient information to permit repetition of the experimental or fieldwork. The technical description of methods should be given only when such methods are new. Results should be presented concisely. The results section should not be used for discussion. Discussion should be separate from the results section and should deal with the significance of the results and their relationship to the object of the work (and, this is the place of the identification key in taxonomic revisions). Individual descriptions should be divided into paragraphs marked as Diagnosis, Description, Remarks, Distribution, Etymology, etc. Acknowledgements (at most in 10 lines). References should be detailed in the following order: authors' names and initials (all authors!), date of publication, title of the article, name of the journal (not in abbreviated form!), volume, and the first and last pages of the article, e.g. NORRBOM, A. L. & KIM, K. C. 1985: Taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships of Copromyza Fallen (s.s.) (Diptera: Sphaeroceridae). - Annals of the Entomological Society of America 78: 331-347. For books the authors' names, date of publication, title, edition, publisher's name, place of publication and page reference should be given, e.g. HlNTON, H. E. 1981 : Biology of insect eggs, vol. 2. - Pergamon Press, New York, 234 pp. or McALPINE, J. F. 1981: Morphology and terminology, adults. Pp. 9-63. - In: MCALPINE, J. F. & PAPP, L. (eds): Manual ofNearctic Diptera, vol. I. Agriculture Canada, Ottawa. The "References" may not be confused with studied literature. Each reference must be mentioned at least once in the text. In the text references should be given as MARSHALL (1992) or (MARSHALL 1992). When a citation includes more than two authors, e.g. GREY, BLACK & WHITE, the paper should be referred to in the text as GREY et ai, provided that this is not ambiguous. If papers by the same author(s) in the same year are cited, they should be distinguished by the letters, a, b, c, etc., e.g. MARSHALL (1992«).
