Bulletin de la Société Sciences Nat

The Bulletin de la Société Sciences Nat was a French entomological scientific journal.

The journal was originally simply typed and printed by Sciences Nat on a small stencil duplicating machine which was rotated by hand with a crank.

In 1979 a more advanced offset printer allowed colours printing for the first time.

In 1980, eight colour plates were produced which placed it at the head of entomological journals worldwide judged by quality of the illustrations.

Deuve (Carabidae), P. Bleuzen (Buprestidae), H. Bohmans (Lucanidae), J. Rigout (Cetoniidae), and P. Téocchi (Lamiinae) and the lepidopterists Claude Herbulot (Geometridae), Ph.
