Conteúdo: | Eight years ago we published an article in American Entmologist (38:22-32) on entomological societies in Latin America. At that time were 15 societies, athough some were inactive. Many published research journals and were very involved in educating interested parties about entomological topics, especially in economic areas. The highest per capita membership was about 28 members per million people in Peru, while most countries with entomological societies had about 10 members per million people. During this symposium explores what entomological societies are doing and might do to preserve biodiversity we revisit societies in the region. In the seven years before our 1992 article 3 new entomological societies were born, and the prospects for other societies forming in countries that did not have them looker good. But as this is written (Jan. 2000), we have not been able to verify that any new society has been established since the Asociacion de Entomologos de Costa Rica was in 1991. Worse, other societies have become inactive and membership has declined across the region. Given the great tasks facing entomologists in Latin America in such areas as pest control, preservation of biodiversity, and entomological nomenclature, the survival and constructive work of entomological societies where the bulk of entomological diversity occurs is a desirable objective.
