This short paper is prepared to help potential authors prepare manuscripts in the correct format for submission to the Journal. Correct preparation greatly speeds the editorial process and makes for less revision by the author.

The abstract should be relatively short, concise, and informative, giving pertinent details of the research and conclusions reached. All new taxa should be itemized within it. Do not use innocuous statements such as “will be discussed herein.” References to literature are not to be included unless essential. Notes do not have abstracts.
