Morphological descriptions and keys should be in telegraphic style. Male (♂) and female (♀) symbols should be used for examined material.

References

Citation of references in text should follow this example:

The Afrotropical fauna of Lixini are represented by 10 genera (Alonso-Zarazaga & Lyal 1999; Talamelli 2008; Gültekin et al. 2012), which includes 40 % of known species in the world (Petri 1912, 1914ab, 1920; Csiki 1934).
