1. Please use the following guidelines when submitting articles for publication:

2. Number pages as 1 -title page, 2 -abstract and key words, 3 -Resumen, 4+ text.

3. All words in title in uppercase letters.

4. Insert (Order: Family) in the title.

5. Use either ESA accepted common name or Latin binomial, not both.

6. Delete systematic authority from Latin binomial in title.

7. Authors’ names in uppercase letters. If authors are not from a single affiliation, type author names, separated by commas. Use a superscript numeral to designate each affiliation. Drop down and type the affiliations in order of appearance on the author line and designate by the appropriate superscript.

8 Name, address, and phone number for galley proofs belong in the upper right corner beginning one line below the running head.

9. Type a running head of no more than 55 characters (including author designation) beginning in the upper left corner of the title page. Underline except for words that would normally be in italics. Use the form: Jones: New Method for Fly Control; For two authors use Jones & Smith:, and for more than two, Jones et al.:. Scientific Notes carry a running head of Scientific Notes. DO NOT PLACE RUNNING HEAD ON SAME LINE AS ANY OTHER TEXT.

10. Sections of the manuscript should be in the following order: title page, abstract, key words, resumen, text, acknowledgment or end note, references cited, footnotes, tables, figure legends, figures. The title page, abstract and resumen, footnotes, each table, and the list of figure legends must be on separate pages.

11. CENTER the word ABSTRACT, typed entirely in capital letters and not underlined. Indent the first paragraph. On the page following the English abstract center the title RESUMEN. If you have prepared a Spanish translation place it here, other wise leave it blank. Do not attempt a translation unless you or your translator are very fluent in Spanish. Spanish abstract Editor will provide translation.

12. Give the systematic authority at first mention in the abstract and the text. Spell out all authorities except Linnaeus and Fabricius.

13. Type 4-6 key words other than those in the title directly below abstract.

14. Indent first paragraph of the introduction and do not type the first words entirely in capitals.

15. Routine use of common name acronyms is not encouraged. Please write out the common name or use the Latin binomial with the genus abbreviated. Ensure that you have not unnecessarily repeated the name of the organism where it is clear to which animal you are referring. If the article is about the cabbage looper, you do not have to say "cabbage looper larvae", just say "the larvae".

16. Use "approximately", "about", or a similar term, not "ca.".

17. Avoid the term "prior to". Use "before".

18. The words "since" and "while" should be used only in a temporal sense. Do not use "since" as a synonym for "because".

19. "That" is used of persons, animals, or things; "which", only of animals or things ("who" preferably designates the individual or distinguishes each member of a group, whereas "that" identifies the group or class itself). Clauses essential to the sense of a sentence (called restrictive clauses) are introduced by "that". Nonrestrictive clauses--those that describe their antecedents--are introduced by "which". Nonrestrictive clauses are parenthetical and may be omitted without harm.

20. "compared with," not "compared to."

21. Plural/singular noun requires plural/singular verb.

22. No comma, the terms are not equal (the lycaenid Eumaeus atala).

23. Insert comma, the terms are equal (a lycaenid, Eumaeus atala).

24. Improper abbreviation. See CBE Style Manual.

25. Use "per" unless reporting unit/unit measurement.

26. Use metric units only. Report English units in parentheses if deemed necessary.

27. Do not abbreviate "liter".

28. Specify photoperiod as "a photoperiod of __:__ (L:D)."

29. Use "h" to abbreviate hour. Use "hours" for military time (1330 hours). Use "s" to abbreviate second.

30. Please use the heading MATERIALS AND METHODS not Methods and Materials.

31. Delete the heading "Introduction". This section is not labeled.

32. PRIMARY HEADINGS are CENTERED and in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. DO NOT UNDERLINE.

33. SECONDARY HEADINGS are placed flush left with capitalization of the first letter of each major term. Do not underline. Drop down one line, and indent to begin the first sentence of the section.

34. Tertiary Headings. These are indented with capitalization of the first letter of each major term, underlined to indicate italics, and followed by a period. Immediately begin the first sentence of the section.

35. Tables and figures must be cited in numerical order in the text. Each figure or table must be cited.

36. Reference citations in the text are separated by commas, not semicolons. Do not use a comma between author’s name and date.

37. Use an ampersand (&) for "and" in text citations.

38. Do not underline "et al.", "ad hoc", or similar Latin phrases. Properly abbreviate "al."

39. If unpublished data is all from the authors of the paper cite as "(unpublished data)." If the data are from only 1 (or more) of the authors, cite as "(R.F.K & R.M.N., unpublished data)."

40. Unpublished data or a personal communication from a person other than the authors will not be published without a corroborating letter from the person cited. Please provide an affiliation sufficient for a reader to contact the communicant when citing unpublished work or personal communications.

41. In parentheses, give the manufacturer's name and address, and model number or similar identifier if relevant.

42. Describe statistical methods in full in Materials and Methods together with citation of the methodology or software used.

43. When presenting the results of analysis of variance (or t test), specify F (or t), degrees of freedom, and Probability (or a) level either in text or in appropriate table footnotes. Present similar parameters for other statistical tests.

44. Multiple mean separation tests (Duncan, SNK, Dunnet, various so-called 'Ryans' tests, etc.) are increasingly in disfavor throughout the statistical community, having been called into question by such luminaries as Fisher, Yates, and even Duncan. The use of such tests is strongly discouraged. (If you are compelled to use an MMST we suggest the Waller-Duncan k-ratio t test). In many cases the simple presentation of means with descriptive statistics such as standard deviation, standard error of the mean, coefficient of variation, confidence limits, or variance will suffice.

45. Define terms such as EC, WP; then use abbreviation.

46. Use accepted common names for insecticides. Trade names may be given in parentheses at first mention in text, with name and location of manufacturer. Provide the chemical name for those without an accepted common name at first use in abstract and text.

47. Place disclaimers, journal series numbers, funding sources, address changes other than correspondent, work as part of postgraduate degree requirements, etc. here, not in a footnote. If only acknowledgment is included, head as "ACKNOWLEDGMENT", if other information is included, head as "ENDNOTE." Do not use titles before names. Generally, people precede institutions and institutions precede grants. Spell out institutions.

48. Generally to be avoided. Use to indicate the address to which reprint requests should be sent, if different from the address (affiliation) of the senior author.

49. Figures must be submitted appropriately assembled (camera ready). Paste up separate units of a multiple figure into a single plate. Label appropriately.

50. Provide a separate legend for each figure or combine into a plate.

51. Photo may not reproduce well.

52. Photo or figure does not seem necessary.

53. Photo or figure not cited in text.

54. Table legend in uppercase.

55. Cite table in text.

56. Prepare table as in CBE style manual or consult past issues of Florida Entomologist.

57. Use superscript numbers to reference table footnotes.

58. Begin on a new page.

59. All author names should be in uppercase, e.g., JONES, E. G., AND  HOWARD, A. B. 1988.

60. When citing references from a book use following order: JONES, E. G. 1988. Sampling techniques, pp. 34-45 IN A. B. Howard [ed.] Insect Collecting Procedures. Bradberry Publications N. Y. 200 pp.

61. Not in journal style, change as indicated or check recent issues for style.

62. Spell out place or geographic names in journal titles (Mexicana, Georgia, Canadian, Australian, Florida, etc.)

63. Short contributions with a maximum text length of 1000 words.

64. Title page and text in logical order without headings, except "SUMMARY" and "REFERENCES CITED".

65. Summary should be 1 to 3 sentences in length "abstract-like" and located at the end of the text.

66. No more than 2 tables or figures.
