In this paper, finite travelling waves for the semilinear parabolic systems

are studied, where di > 0, ei > 0, mij ≥ 0 for all 1 ≤ i,j ≤ n, and for all 1 ≤ i ≤ n. Let M = (mij)n × n and A = I – M. It will be proved that (*) has finite travelling waves if and only if all principal minors of A are positive. Moreover, some asymptotic behaviours of finite travelling waves will be obtained.
