Taxon tree (very good for some marine groups, but limited for terrestrial groups)
Bugguide (many arthropod groups, but US and Canada only)
Lepindex (Global Lepidoptera Names Index) – "a digitised and updated version of the unique index card archive to the scientific names of the living and fossil butterflies and moths of the world at the Natural History Museum (London)" (last update in 2012).|
LepIndex ID (P3064)
According to the
CoL dataset record, "large sections of the dataset are outdated and contain errors or inaccuracies (particularly relating to changes in higher classification and incomplete data on historical combinations for each epithet)".
"LepIndex has now been imported into TaxonWorks and is maintained there as an online curated resource. Significant updates have been made to some families" (see box to right)
"The Global Lepidoptera Index is not at present actively maintained for the following Lepidoptera groups since these are maintained in other public datasets" (see list below with links to checkkistbank and date of update):
Lepidoptera Mundi (formerly European Butterflies and Moths). Has comprehensive coverage of European species. It has been recently been expanded to cover other regions. Can find species restricted to continent or country. [Note: the site has been black listed since 2018 (see
here and
here) due to the site owner persistently adding external links (see
