The Lepidopterists' Society ("Lep. Soc.") is an international organization dedicated to serving as a common meeting ground for amateurs and professionals interested in all aspects of lepidopterology. There are currently approximately 1600 members in over 60 countries, though the majority of them occur in United States and Canada.

Publications
The Society publishes Journal of The Lepidopterists' Society and News of the Society on a quarterly basis plus a Season Summary and in even-numbered years a Membership Directory .

Membership

Membership is on a calendar year basis;
All new members receive a copy of the most recent Membership Directory (with an index to subject areas of interest to members and a geographic index to members' places of residence, useful for quickly finding members in specific parts of the world), plus all publications for the calendar year in which they join.

Dues (in U.S. dollars) are:-

Student ($15),
Regular ($35),
Sustaining ($50),
Life ($700).

Institutional subscriptions (libraries and other organizations, not listed in the Membership Directory) are $50.
