Identifications and confirmations of taxa of selected taxonomic groups by international experts.

This page serves as a presentation of identification results but also as a platform for the discussion of taxonomic assignments. Identifications are therefore to be regarded as basically provisional. Particularly unclear assignments are marked with ‘cf.’ (lat: confer = ‘compare with’).
