#checklistbank — Public Fediverse posts

An updated checklist of geometrid #moths (~14% of all moths) was published last year as the Online #Taxonomic Facility of #Geometridae

https://geometroidea.smns-bw.org/introduction

The data are now also in #ChecklistBank and will replace the current outdated #LepIndex list in #CatalogueOfLife, @gbif, etc.

I've also edited #Notodontidae in the @TaxonWorks Global Lepidoptera Index dataset at least to match Schintlmeister's 2013 catalogue (now handling later works):

New paper today describes nine new many-plume #moth #species:

With Alucita megaphimus also restored from synonymy, this increases the number of species described globally for the family from 259 to 269. I've updated the global catalogue:

The data are also now in #ChecklistBank ready to update #CatalogurOfLife (and then @gbif) next month:

The family #Scranciidae has now been updated in the #GlobalLepidopteraIndex and is available in #ChecklistBank.

https://www.checklistbank.org/dataset/55434/taxon/235153

This classification should be included in next month's #CatalogueOfLife checklist and then be available to @gbif for organising occurrence data.

22 #genera, 122 #species, 11 #subspecies, 279 names in total:

We've signed an agreement with #Species2000—the body responsible for the Catalogue of Life #catalogueoflife #COL—to serve as administrative host for its Secretariat, strengthening our collaboration on taxonomic data through COL, #ChecklistBank & elsewhere:
