The New York Entomological Society and other entomological societies in New York have produced a number of scientific journals since the mid-19th century, some of which have moved between a set of similar societies.
The New York Entomological Society was founded in 1892. The Brooklyn Entomological Society merged with the Society in 1968. The Society publishes Entomologica Americana which is the successor to the Journal of the New York Entomological Society.
New York is a state in the Northeastern United States. New York was one of the original thirteen colonies that formed the United States. With an estimated 19.54 million residents in 2018, it is the fourth most populous state. In order to distinguish the state from its city with the same name, it is sometimes referred to as New York State (NYS).

The Bulletin of the Brooklyn Entomological Society was an academic journal which focused on entomology. It was published by the Brooklyn Entomological Society. In 1885, it was suspended after volume 7, and was merged with Papilio to form Entomologica Americana .
An academic or scholarly journal is a periodical publication in which scholarship relating to a particular academic discipline is published. Academic journals serve as permanent and transparent forums for the presentation, scrutiny, and discussion of research. They are usually peer-reviewed or refereed. Content typically takes the form of articles presenting original research, review articles, and book reviews. The purpose of an academic journal, according to Henry Oldenburg, is to give researchers a venue to "impart their knowledge to one another, and contribute what they can to the Grand design of improving natural knowledge, and perfecting all Philosophical Arts, and Sciences."
Entomology is the scientific study of insects, a branch of zoology. In the past the term "insect" was vaguer, and historically the definition of entomology included the study of terrestrial animals in other arthropod groups or other phyla, such as arachnids, myriapods, earthworms, land snails, and slugs. This wider meaning may still be encountered in informal use.
The journal was later resumed in 1912, as Bulletin of the Brooklyn Entomological Society (new series), starting at Volume 8. It then ceased publication with the double volume 59-60 in 1965 shortly before the Brooklyn Entomological Society merged with the New York Entomological Society.

Papilio, or Papilio: The Organ of the New York Entomological Club, was an academic journal which focused on entomology. It was named after the swallowtail butterfly genus Papilio , and was entirely devoted to Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths).
A genus is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms, as well as viruses, in biology. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus.
Papilio is a genus in the swallowtail butterfly family, Papilionidae, as well as the only representative of the tribe Papilionini. The word papilio is Latin for butterfly.
Lepidoptera is an order of insects that includes butterflies and moths. About 180,000 species of the Lepidoptera are described, in 126 families and 46 superfamilies, 10 per cent of the total described species of living organisms. It is one of the most widespread and widely recognizable insect orders in the world. The Lepidoptera show many variations of the basic body structure that have evolved to gain advantages in lifestyle and distribution. Recent estimates suggest the order may have more species than earlier thought, and is among the four most speciose orders, along with the Hymenoptera, Diptera, and Coleoptera.
The first two volumes of Papilio were published by the New York Entomological Club between 1881 and 1882, with Henry Edwards as the editor. After the society's activities ceased in 1882, two more volumes were published: the third volume was published in 1883 by Henry Edwards, who was both the editor and publisher of the journal at the time, and the fourth volume was published instead by Eugene M. Aaron, with George B. Cresson as "Entomological Printer".
Henry Edwards, known as "Harry", was an English stage actor, writer and entomologist who gained fame in Australia, San Francisco and New York City for his theatre work.
After the fourth volume, the journal ceased publication due to expenses exceeding income from subscriptions. It was merged with the Bulletin of the Brooklyn Entomological Society to form Entomologica Americana .

Entomologica Americana was an academic journal which focused on entomology, published irregularly from 1885 to 1975. It was created as a merger of the previous Bulletin of the Brooklyn Entomological Society and Papilio journals, though the former would resume publication later on in a new series.
First published by the Brooklyn Entomological Society in 1885, publication of Entomologica Americana was suspended in 1890 after six volumes. It was then resumed in 1926, serving as a place for longer papers (such as monographs) to be published in, but was again suspended in 1964 after Volume 44.
After the Brooklyn Entomological Society was merged with the New York Entomological Society, publication of Entomologica Americana was resumed again in 1969 with Volume 45. The journal now ran concurrently with the society's existing journal, the Journal of the New York Entomological Society , and was again used for publishing longer papers, while Journal was used for shorter papers. Entomologica Americana finally ceased publication in 1975 after Volume 49.
The name "Entomologica Americana" was later revived in 2009 for the journal Entomologica Americana , which succeeded the Journal of the New York Entomological Society .

The Entomologica Americana is a peer-reviewed academic journal which focuses on entomology. It is published by BioOne for the New York Entomological Society. It shares the same name as the earlier Entomologica Americana journal originally published by the Brooklyn Entomological Society.
The Astronomical Journal is a peer-reviewed monthly scientific journal owned by the American Astronomical Society and currently published by IOP Publishing. It is one of the premier journals for astronomy in the world. Until 2008, the journal was published by the University of Chicago Press on behalf of the American Astronomical Society. The reasons for the change were given by the society as the desire of the University of Chicago Press to revise its financial arrangement and their plans to change from the particular software that had been developed in-house. The other two publications of the society, the Astrophysical Journal and its supplement series, followed in January 2009.
John Obadiah Westwood was an English entomologist and archaeologist also noted for his artistic talents.
David Sharp FRS was an English physician and entomologist who worked mainly on Coleoptera. He was among the most prolific publishers in the history of entomology with more than 250 papers that included seven major revisions and reviews and a highly influential work on the structure and modifications of the male genital structures among the beetle families. He was the editor of the Zoological Record for three decades.
Sciences Nat was the academic publisher specialising in entomology of the Societé Sciences Nat. The society was established in 1971 and based in the rue de la Mare in Paris. Three years later it moved to the rue des Alouettes and later to Venette near Compiègne. The company was directed first by Roger Ehrman and then by Jacques Rigout.
Oliver Erichson Janson was an English entomologist who specialised in Coleoptera.
Torrey Botanical Society was started in the 1860s by colleagues of John Torrey. It is the oldest botanical society in the Americas.
