Updates and changes to the online checklist of
Within each genus section, valid species names are listed in alphabetical order, with junior synonyms placed on an indented line following the corresponding senior synonym. Only genus- and species-group taxonomic changes in
The type of taxonomic change is indicated in parentheses. In this catalogue, the word 'new' and the abbreviation 'nov.' (novus, -a, -um) both denote that a taxonomic change was recent enough to not appear in the checklist of
If the status of a subspecies has been changed or a new synonymy has been proposed, the name of the associated valid species name is provided for context. Otherwise, species that have not undergone any taxonomic changes since the publication of
