The New Zealand Entomologist is a refereed journal that publishes articles by New Zealand entomologists and papers that are of significance to New Zealand entomology in all its aspects, including arachnids and other terrestrial arthropods. It is the official publication of the Entomological Society of New Zealand (Inc.). The Weta is the Society's news bulletin containing articles on entomological observations, techniques, reviews, and events.

Digitisation of the New Zealand Entomologist was initiated by S. M. Pawson and R. K. Didham. Funding was provided by the Terrestrial and Freshwater Biodiversity Information System (TFBIS).
