J. O. Westwood Medal

The J. O. Westwood Medal is awarded every two years by the Royal Entomological Society (RES).

The criteria for the award are:

"The best comprehensive taxonomic work on a group of insects, or, related arthropods (including terrestrial and freshwater hexapods, myriapods, arachnids and their relatives). Typically, this will be a taxonomic revision or monograph. Open to authors from any country who demonstrate the highest standards of descriptive taxonomy in the work nominated."

and the winner is chosen by a panel of senior and international RES Fellows.

The award was inaugurated in 2008, and is named in honour of the entomologist, John O. Westwood. Recipients are awarded a silver gilt medal and £1000.
