Welcome to the homepage of the Hawaiian Entomological Society. Founded in 1905, the Hawaiian Entomological Society is the oldest entomological society in the Pacific. It was first convened on January 26, 1905 in the Board Room of what was then known as the Bureau of Agriculture and Forestry (and is now known as the Departments of Agriculture and Land and Natural Resources).
Today the Hawaiian Entomological Society is based out of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa in the Department of Plant and Environmental Protection Sciences. In addition to publishing the Proceedings of the Hawaiian Entomological Society, the Hawaiian Entomological Society organizes the Pacific Entomology Conference (PEC).
The mission of the society is to: promote and advance the science of Entomology and the professional status of Entomologists; promote cooperation and mutual assistance among its members and with closely associated organizations; meet quarterly for the purpose of conducting business; publish annually the “Proceedings of the Hawaiian Entomological Society”; and to pursue such policies in accordance with our mission.
This year, The Proceedings of the Hawaiian Entomological Society will have two printings. Volume 51(2) will be available to all members. Volume 51(1) is a special edition of a paper by Janis Matsunaga, Frank Howarth and Bernarr Kumashiro entitled “New State Records and Additions to the Alien Terrestrial Arthropod Fauna in the Hawaiian Islands.” This will be printed in a different format (8.5 x 11, spiral bound). As such this will entail a higher printing cost. Members in good standing must reserve a copy in advance. Charges, including shipping and handling, for each order I hope will be approximately $10 but this may change based upon the number printed. If you are interested, reserve your copy by going to the following link: https://forms.gle/XJD4Ea3sjKr7A5hy5 which you can also find at the HES Website, httP://www.hawaiianentsoc.org or on the HES Facebook page. If you do not pre-order, copies may be available for purchase at the full per copy printing costs.
