What is "besoiro"

Besoiro is a French entomological scientific journal. It is published by Patrick Arnaud and was established in 1995. The name means beetle in Portuguese. The taxa described are included on the Zoological Record volumes.

Arnaud also created the Juvisy insect fair, the most important entomological exhibition in the world, he travelled many countries and described many new species. Following the cessation of publication of the Bulletin de la Société Sciences Nat in 1995, there was a major need for entomologists to have a journal that could publish descriptions of new insect species quickly, and the journals Besoiro and Coléoptères were founded the same year.
