Miscellanea Entomologica was a French entomological scientific journal. It was originally published by Eugène Barthe and established in 1892.

The first issue of Miscellanea Entomologica was published in a larger format (24 x 36 cm), but immediately the following ones were smaller (18 x 24 cm). The first year was published both in French and in German. The first issues consisted mainly of capture notes and announcements for the sale or exchange of insects.

There were 3 different publishers:

When Barthe started Miscellanea Entomologica, he was 30. He had a great deal of difficulty finding enough subscribers to pay the costs of production and expedition- but 30 years later the publication was one of the most important in Europe. The main works published were on Coleoptera. The field of study was insects of France, the Rhine Valley with Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands. The publication included the magazine and many supplements published as irregular leaflets of 8 or 16 pages. A list of everything that appeared was compiled by G. Bernardi and O. Fabre (published as Le Moult & Bernardi). Later, another list was produced to help recognize leaflets published by Miscellanea Entomologica.

In 1943, Le Moult continued the publication with the development of numerous articles on Lepidoptera. Thus were published many works by Georges Bernardi and Marcel Caruel, while Breuning published works on European Lamiinae. The last volume published by Le Moult was #48 in 1936.

In 1982 Sciences Nat restarted the journal and published volumes 49 to 51. The publication committee was composed of eminent entomologists: Georges Bernardi, Philippe Darge, Jean Darnaud, Claude Herbulot and Léon Schaefer. Colour plates were included in each volume. The circulation was about 300 copies.
