Preface
This checklist has been prepared by Frans Janssens, member
of the Royal Entomological Society of Antwerp, Belgium.
The purpose of this check list is to resolve synonomy related
problems. Typical example: given a taxon name, verify whether
or not it is currently valid and if not what is then its currently
valid name.
This list is updated regularly. Unfortunately,
it still contains a lot of mistakes. :-(
Typical errors are a) duplication of the same species name in several genera,
b) duplication of taxa at different rank (e.g., once listed at species rank and
once more at subspecies rank), c) synonyms listed as valid taxa, c) incorrect
spelling of the name of a taxon or author, d) incorrect publication date,
e) incorrect revision authority.
Your comments, flames, remarks, suggestions, etc are welcome at

Note that the species count is optimistic and includes problematic
taxa such as unresolved homonyms, unresolved nomina nuda and
undescribed species (e.g., 'sp.').
A high species/genus ratio might be an indication that it is about time
to do a revision of the concerned group.
Taken this into account, the following groups are candidate for revision:
- Arrhopalitidae, currently being revised by Drs Douglas Zeppelini & Robert Vargovich;
- Lepidocyrtinae; the revision of Lepidocyrtus s.l. of Yoshii & Yayuk
(1989) has been
only partly accepted up to subgenus level;
- Seiridae.
