Available identification keys

Dichotomous and inter-active identification keys are indicated in the checklist by a key icon ( ) appending the taxon name. Clicking on the key icon will open the dichotomous key.
Keys are provided per rank, such as class, family, subfamily and genus. The keys are associated with the taxa and follow as such the taxonomic hierarchy. Note that not all keys are currently provided.
