Nota Lepidopterologica是由Pensoft出版的Societas Europaea Lepidopterologica（SEL）的同行評審期刊。作為社會期刊，我們致力于成為向會員出版的場所; 通過開放獲取為對鱗翅目感興趣的科學界提供高質量的研究; 并使用現代技術提供這些服務。我們發表關于鱗翅目的分類學，形態學/解剖學，系統發育學，生物地理學，生態學，行為學，保護學和自然歷史的原始研究論文，以及鱗翅目學的任何其他方面。該期刊主要致力于古生物鱗翅目（Lepidoptera）。任何上述領域的綜合研究優先于范圍非常有限的研究。但是，我們還邀請對重要主題做出簡短貢獻，例如侵入性分類群，大地理區域的新記錄以及其他類似方面。所有論文均以英文出版，除英文外，還有其他語言的摘要。所有提交的稿件均由我們的國際編委會成員之一進行評估，該編輯委員會由流行病學各領域的主要專家組成。然后將質量足夠高的手稿發送給至少兩名合格的專家進行同行評審。該期刊以開放獲取的高分辨率PDF，語義豐富的HTML和機器可讀的XML版本發布。

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.
