Preface

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

Status

Note that the species count is optimistic and includes problematic taxa such as unresolved homonyms, unresolved nomina nuda and undescribed species (e.g., 'sp.'). Including all subspecific taxa, such as subspecies, varietas and forma, the total taxa count is about 8200.

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;
• Seirinae.
