Nota Lepidopterologica是由Pensoft出版的Societas Europaea Lepidopterologica（SEL）的同行评审期刊。作为社会期刊，我们致力于成为向会员出版的场所; 通过开放获取为对鳞翅目感兴趣的科学界提供高质量的研究; 并使用现代技术提供这些服务。我们发表关于鳞翅目的分类学，形态学/解剖学，系统发育学，生物地理学，生态学，行为学，保护学和自然历史的原始研究论文，以及鳞翅目学的任何其他方面。该期刊主要致力于古生物鳞翅目（Lepidoptera）。任何上述领域的综合研究优先于范围非常有限的研究。但是，我们还邀请对重要主题做出简短贡献，例如侵入性分类群，大地理区域的新记录以及其他类似方面。所有论文均以英文出版，除英文外，还有其他语言的摘要。所有提交的稿件均由我们的国际编委会成员之一进行评估，该编辑委员会由流行病学各领域的主要专家组成。然后将质量足够高的手稿发送给至少两名合格的专家进行同行评审。该期刊以开放获取的高分辨率PDF，语义丰富的HTML和机器可读的XML版本发布。
Nota Lepidopterologica is the peer-reviewed journal of the Societas Europaea Lepidopterologica (SEL) published by Pensoft. As a society journal, we are committed to being a venue for publishing to our members; to bringing high-quality research to the scientific community interested in Lepidoptera through open access; and to providing these services using modern technology.We publish original research papers on taxonomy, morphology/anatomy, phylogenetics, biogeography, ecology, behaviour, conservation, and natural history of Lepidoptera, but also on any other aspects of lepidopterology. The journal is devoted mostly but not exclusively to Palaearctic Lepidoptera. Comprehensive studies in any of the above-mentioned areas are given preference over studies with a very limited scope. However, we also invite short contributions on important topics, such as invasive taxa, new records for large geographical areas, and other similar aspects. All papers are published in English, with a possibility ofthe summary in other languages in addition to English.All submitted manuscripts are assigned for evaluation to one of the members of our international editorial board formed by the leading specialists in the various fields of lepidopterology. The manuscripts that are of high enough quality are then sent to at least two qualified experts for peer-review. The journal is published in open access high-resolution PDF, semantically enriched HTML and machine-readable XML versions.
