ABOUT THE SOCIETY
The SOCIETY OF SOUTHWESTERN ENTOMOLOGISTS, formerly named the Southwestern Entomological Society, was founded in 1976. The objective of The Society of Southwestern Entomologists is to foster entomological accomplishment in the southwestern United States and Mexico through the encouragement of (1) association and free discussion among all entomologists; (2) the preparation, reading, and publication of papers; (3) the dissemination of entomological information to the general public; and (4) publication of the Southwestern Entomologist. This is a regional publication covering entomological research in the Southwestern United States and Mexico. Studies conducted in other regions will be considered if the results are geographically applicable.
The Southwestern Entomologist (ISSN 0147-1724) is published quarterly in March, June, September, and December by The Society of Southwestern Entomologists. In 2024, the Society ceased printing the journal Southwestern Entomologist. The December, 2023 issue is the last printed issue. The journal continues to be available on-line by library subscription through BioOne (https://bioonepublishing.org). Current members of the Society enjoy free on-line access to the journal via the Members Only tab on the Society’s webpage (https://www.sswento.org).
