ABOUT US: SUMMARY INFORMATION

The Entomological Society of Latvia (LEB) was established in 1951. It is the oldest active non-goverment biological organisation in Latvia and one of the oldest in the Baltic states.

Members. The society includes about 70 members from more than 20 countries at present.

Sections. LEB currently has three subdivisions: the Commission of Trichopterology founded in 1988 (inactive now), the Section of Coleopterology (active since 1996) and the Division of Nature Research (DIS) (active since 2000) which consolidate "non-arthropodologists", like hirudinologists, malacologists and other.

Publications. We publish following international scientific journals: Latvijas Entomologs: since 1960; Acta hydroentomologica latvica: 1991-1997 (private, in co-operation with Societas Odonatologica Internationalis); Latvijas entomologijas arhivs: 1995-1997 (private); Acta coleopterolocica latvica: since 1997 (journal of the Section of Coleopterology). Our newsletter is called out LEB Jaunumi and is published since 1999 in Latvian only. One of our issues - "Latvijas entomologs" - is cited by Zoological Records and BioSis.

Partners. Our society has about 35 exchange partners around the World.

Meetings. LEB organize regular scientific conferences and seminars.

Consultations. We provide consultations and identification help in all aspects of Latvian invertebrates fauna.
