About us
Department information and contacts
The Department is an international centre of excellence for the study of insect and arachnid systematics, taxonomy, identification and comparative biology. Our leading position in insect natural history, in both academic and applied fields, is based on the expertise of the staff; their use and development of the Museum's unrivalled collections of insects, mites and spiders; outstanding library resources and modern laboratory facilities. This unique collection is housed in the Natural History Museum's famous South Kensington site, in central London.
Publications
The department has editorial responsibility for entomological papers in the journal Systematics and Biodiversity, the replacement journal for the Bulletins of the Natural History Museum (formerly the Bulletin of the British Museum (Natural History)). It also has editorial responsibility for Occasional Papers on Systematic Entomology.
