Psyche was founded in 1874 by the Cambridge Entomological Club as a "journal for the publication of biological contributions upon Arthropoda from any competent person".[1]
It was published continuously from 1874 to 1995, and then again in 2000. In 2007, the journal was transferred to the Hindawi Publishing Corporation, which plans to start publication as an open access journal in 2008, distributing the articles online under the Creative Commons Attribution License[2].
Among the researchers that have published in Psyche are Nathan Banks, Ralph Vary Chamberlin, Arthur M. Chickering, Horace Donisthorpe, Bert Hölldobler, Robert R. Jackson, Herbert Walter Levi, Vladimir Nabokov, Norman I. Platnick, Embrik Strand, William Morton Wheeler and Edward O. Wilson.

[edit] History
Samuel Hubbard Scudder, who later became the first editor of Science, proposed to start an "Organ of the Cambridge Entomological Club" on its fourth meeting. Its first editor was B. P. Mann. The articles concentrated on general anatomy, biological entomology, and to set up a Bibliographic Record of all writings upon entomology published in North America, and about North American entomology.[3]
