editors
Accepted 58 (2–240) days** after peer

* Reduction of the time "in-press" is what Zootaxa aims at and can
do, although delays can be caused by authors not returning corrections
to proofs in a timely manner.
** Mean (min.-max.); time lag in review/revision depends very much on the reviewers and
authors.
