Keywords

These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

All taxa recognized within this volume of the rank of genus and above are listed below. Within each classification, the ­nomenclatural type is listed first followed by the remaining taxa in alphabetical order. Taxa appearing on the Approved Lists are denoted by the superscript AL. Taxa that were otherwise validly published are denoted by the superscript VP. Taxa that have not been validly published are presented in quotations. Taxa which were described after the deadline of July 1, 2006, and are therefore not included in this volume are indicated by an asterisk (*).
