African Entomology replaced the old Journal of the Entomological Society of Southern Africa in 1993. A single volume consisting of two issues (March and September) is published annually. The journal is indexed in all major abstracting journals.

African Entomology is a peer reviewed scientific journal that publishes original research articles and short communications on all aspects of entomology, with the emphasis on the advancement of entomology on the African continent.

African Entomology is available in BioOne Complete through the 2021 volume. Current content is available Open Access on the journal's website.
