Sciences Nat was the academic publisher specialising in entomology of the Societé Sciences Nat. The society was established in 1971 and based in the rue de la Mare in Paris. Three years later it moved to the rue des Alouettes and later to Venette near Compiègne. The company was directed first by Roger Ehrman and then by Jacques Rigout.
In 1981 the publication of The Beetles of the World started, a series of 30 volumes devoted to the Coleoptera. The 24 first were published by Sciences Nat, the later ones by Hillside Books, Canterbury.[1]
Sciences Nat also published several entomological monographs, mainly in English, such as:
Between 1972 and 1995, Sciences Nat also published the journal Bulletin de la Société Sciences Nat,[2] in which a history of Sciences Nat was given in a 1992 interview with Rigout.[3] Between 1982 and 1988 Sciences Nat published three volumes of the journal Miscellanea Entomologica.
