Source-derived summary

Proceedings of the Royal Entomological Society was a peer-reviewed scientific journal of entomology established in 1926 by the Royal Entomological Society. A history is presented below.

History

Ever the years, the journal was split and renamed several times:

Proceedings of the Royal Entomological Society (1926–1936)

Proceedings of the Royal Entomological Society, Series A (1936–1970)

Journal of Entomology, Series A (1971–1976)

Proceedings of the Royal Entomological Society, Series B (1936–1970)

Journal of Entomology, Series B (1971–1976)

Proceedings of the Royal Entomological Society, Series C (1936–1977)

After 1977, several journals continued the Proceedings, restarting volume numbering at 1.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Proceedings of the Royal Entomological Society” as journal. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Proceedings, Royal and Entomological.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1926, 1936, 1970, 1971—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Proceedings, Royal and Entomological providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Proceedings of the Royal Entomological Society”, the useful work is to connect “journal” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 9, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q55641500. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1926, 1936, 1970 and 1971.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
