It is the authors' responsibility to obtain permission to reproduce illustrations, tables, etc., from other publications. Papers describing new taxa should be under the responsibility of three authors at most. The authors are not obliged to adhere rigidly to this organization and authors may modify the style when such modification makes the presentation clearer and more effective. When using scientific names of genus and species for the first time in the taxonomic papers, it should be written in full with author and date. Tereafter, the genus can be indicated by its initial letter except at the start of a sentence, but the author and date can be omitted.
Telegraphic style is recommended for taxonomic descriptions.
When a new species-group taxon is established, its type material should be clearly described. Public museum for depositing the type material must be stated. C. Form of Manuscript Manuscripts should be typewritten and double spaced throughout on one side of white typewriting paper with 2.5 cm margins on all sides. Abstract, tables, and figure legends, and footnotes should be on separate sheets. All manuscript sheets must be numbered successively at the top right.
