Checklist of the Collembola: History - 2001

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 Frans Janssens

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 revised by Douglas Zeppelini & Robert Vargovich;
Proisotominae;
Frieseinae;
Lepidocyrtinae; the revision of Lepidocyrtus s.l. of Yoshii & Yayuk (1989) has been only partly accepted up to subgenus level.

This will allow the webmaster to redirect the url transparently to any other mirror site in case of problems with the primary site. The site redirection will not affect site visitors.

Due to lack of interest, the 'Events' web page is discontinued. More information on conferences in Systematics and Zoology in general can be found at the Conference Calendar of Conferences and Meetings on Zoology.

The simulated cyrillic font, that is used in the Bibliography to represent titles of publications in their original font, has been improved. It looks better now, at least in Netscape; the alignment of the cyrillic characters with the latin characters is not yet perfect...
