General provisions

Only the members having paid their fees are allowed to publish in the "Bulletin"; the manuscript should not have been published or submitted to another journal; this implies that the authors agrees to transfer automatically his copyright to the publisher as soon as the manuscript has been accepted for publication.
All manuscripts which are not prepared in accordance with the prescriptions mentioned hereafter will be returned to the author or co-authors. The papers are accepted only after advice of one or more reviewers; the editorial board is composed of council members and/or invited referees, in the aim of an optimal presentation and of respect of scientific deontology. However, the papers are published under the responsibility of the authors. A charge will be made for any addition or change introduced after the second proof. Ten reprints of each paper are supplied free of charge.

Presentation of the manuscript

Manuscripts should be submitted in duplicate, including a copy of the illustrations and tables. They should be typed double-spaced on one side of the paper only, with a left margin of 2,5 cm; the pages should be numbered from the title page; each paragraph should start with a distinct indent and not spaces. The authors should abide by the provisions and recommendations of the International Code of zoological Nomenclature and should take the necessary steps so that the holotypes of the species described in the Bulletin should be deposited in a museum or an official institution. In case of descriptions of new taxa, establishment of new synonyms, new homonyms, new combinations, etc., the abbreviations sp. n., gen. n., trib. n., syn. n., comb. n., nom. n., etc. should be used. In case of new combination, the original genus is to be cited. When a taxon is cited for the first time, the complete name is always to be followed by the name of the author and by the date, separated by a comma, with or without brackets following the prescriptions of the Code. Species should be cited with at least the abbreviation of the generic name preceding the specific name.

Layout of the manuscript

The title (p. 1) (14pt Times) should comprise: full title of paper, including the order and family of the treated group in brackets; separated without any punctuation, the name(s) and the address(es) of the author(s). Page 2 should be reserved for a summary (11pt Times), in the language of the paper, followed if necessary by a summary in another national language or in English, preferably not longer than 200 words. Immediately following the summary, a few keywords should be supplied to ensure a good bibliographic analysis to the paper.
The text (11pt Times) shall begin on page 3. According to the subjects, the following chapters might be developed: Introduction, Material and methods, Results, Systematics, Discussion. The paragraphs should start with an indent and the scientific names of genera and species should be in italics. The chapters and paragraphs titles should be in bold face but underlined.
The names of authors shall be in SMALL CAPS and the references in the text, as in the following models : FEDER & BUSH (1991), (FEDER & BUSH, 1991), FEDER et al. (1990a), FEDER et al.. (1990a,b), DESSART (ingediend), (FEDER et al., 1990a; FEDER & BUSH, 1991), DALY et al. (1998), (DALY et al., 1998), and (SMITH, 1963; HENNIG, 1966).
In case of collecting data, the months should be cited with Roman numerals (11.IV.1928); anywhere else, they should be written out in full (11 April 1928).
Possible acknowledgments should be concise and should precede the bibliography.

The bibliography

Each paper should list all, but only, the works referred to in the text. Journal titles should be written in full, in case of papers in press, only the name of the journal should be cited, followed by "(in press)". The bibliographic references (10pt Times) should be listed in alphabetical order under the first author's name, and chronologically for the same authors, as follows:

Figures and tables

Illustrations (Fig. n or Figs n-m or Figs n, p) shall be numbered in a single continuous series in Arabic numerals; the magnifications shall either be indicated by a scale or mentioned in the legends. At the time of mounting, the authors should consider the print area of the journal (for a whole page 16 cm × 24 cm; for a column 7,63 cm × 24 cm). The authors should mark approximately where figures and tables are to be inserted as well as the desired scale of the reduction. Photographs and illustrations requiring a special technique will be charged to the authors.
The tables (10pt Times) will be submitted separately and formatted according to the format of the Bulletin. For a correct alignment, tab stops should be used or the command “justification”.
Legends of figures and tables should be submitted on a separate page (10pt Times).

Instructions after acceptance of the manuscript

Manuscripts should be provided on floppy disk (3.5" or 5 , DSDD) (IBM comp.; following word processing programs: WordPerfect 6.1, Microsoft Word 97 and in ASCII) together with a print-out. The tables may be formatted in Microsoft Excel 97, Word 97 or WordPerfect 6.1.
