Ya han pasado casi dos a?os desde nuestra ?ltima reuni?n en Chetumal, M?xico, en el Encuentro de Lepidoptera Neotropicales III. Lleg? entonces el momento de reunirnos nuevamente para compartir conocimientos, experiencias y disfrutar del tema que nos une y apasiona: las mariposas y polillas del Neotr?pico. Este evento, que cuenta con el auspicio de la Facultad de Ciencias (Universidad de la Rep?blica) y el Museo Nacional de Historia Natural, se realizar? en el Centro de Convenciones de la Torre de los Profesionales (http://www.torre.com.uy ), en el centro de la ciudad de Montevideo. Por primera vez, el ELEN se realiza en una zona de clima templado, en el bioma Pampa, tan familiar para algunos de nosotros pero tan inusual para otros. Ser? una oportunidad inmejorable para aquellos que desean visitarlo y aun no lo conocen, as? como tambi?n para los que desean volver. Tambi?n va a ser una buena oportunidad para consolidar la participaci?n de todos los vinculados a este tema en la regi?n. Montevideo, es la capital del pa?s y concentra casi la mitad de la poblaci?n total, con una gran actividad cultural, importantes centros comerciales y la famosa rambla costanera de m?s de 20 km de largo, destino com?n para una diversidad de actividades recreativas. En breve recibir?n por este intermedio informaci?n sobre las fechas de presentaci?n de res?menes e inscripciones y estar? disponible la p?gina Web con m?s informaci?n sobre el Encuentro, detalles de costos, alojamiento y otros datos ?tiles. Ser?n todos bienvenidos!

It has been almost two years since our last meeting in Chetumal, Mexico, at the Encuentro de Lepidoptera Neotropicales III. The time has come to meet again and share the knowledge, experiences and enjoy what passionates us the most: the butterflies and moths of the Neotropical region. This event, has the sponsorship of the Faculty of Sciences (Universidad de la Rep?blica) and the National Museum of Natural History, and will be held at the Convention Centre "Torre de los Profesionales" (http://www.torre.com.uy ) in downtown Montevideo. For the first time, ELEN will take place in a city of the temperate region, in the Pampa biome, so familiar to some of us and so unusual to others. This will be an excellent opportunity for those who want to visit it and still don't know it, and a great excuse for those who have been here before and would like to come back. It will also be a good chance to strenghthen the study of these insects in the southern region. Montevideo is the capital of the country and hosts almost half the total population, it has a great cultural activity, big shopping malls, and the famous almost-20 km-long shore, a common place for a great diversity of recreational activities. Soon, you will receive information about deadlines for abstract submissions and registration. The official site of the meeting will be online in the next few days, where you would find information regarding fees, accomodation and other useful data. You are all wellcome! PD.: The email addresses were obtained from former ELEN participants lists and others who have showed interest in this field along the years. If you are not willing to keep on receiving emails about this event, or rather receive it in another email address, please answer this email with the needed details. -- MSc. Rosina Segu?
