The Entomologist's Record and Journal of Variation is a journal founded by the famous Lepidopterist J.W.Tutt in 1892 and published without a break ever since. It contains both peer reviewed articles and Notes, including some regular definitive reviews, such as the annual review of microlepidoptera new to Britain and the annual review of migrant Lepidoptera. Another regular column is the light hearted but informative 'Hazards of Butterfly Collecting' series by Torben Larsen. Further details of the Journal may be found at its own Web site: http://www.entrecord.com

For many years the journal was exclusively concerned with Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths), but in recent years the scope has widened to include other British insect groups.

The content of the journal ranges widely from descriptions of species new to science or taxa new to Britain, through to short notes on interesting observations that ought to be placed on record for others to access, or accounts of entomological trips. We aim to balance the "science" with "lay-interest" and hope that as a result the contents are readable, but also stand up to scientific scrutiny.
