The News of the Lepidopterists' Society is a quarterly newsletter of The Lepidopterists' Society. It contains short notes on the biology and taxonomy of moths and butterflies, yearly and other summaries of collecting and observational activities, general notes, book reviews, member notices and updates, and other information.
