Home     Manual

The following databases and websites are based on Species File Software:
 
Arthropoda Species File The Arthropoda Species File serves as a bridge for convenient movement between several other species files. There is no expectation that this species file will contain a significant amount of data.
Polyneoptera
Species File
The Polyneoptera Species File serves as a bridge for convenient movement between several other species files. In addition, it contains some details for orders that are too small to justify a separate database and website.
Blattodea
Species File
Dermaptera

Embioptera

Mantodea
Species File

The Mantodea Species File (MSF) is a taxonomic database of the world's praying mantids (Order Mantodea), both of fossil and living species. The MSF has full synonymic and taxonomic information for over 2,400 valid species. A future aim of this database is to provide images of the specimens deposited in museums worldwide (especially types), as well as pictures of living praying mantids in the wild and in captivity.

This database originated with Otte and Spearman`s (2005) Mantida Species File catalog but is now following the classification of Schwarz & Roy (2019).

Paraneoptera
Species File
The Paraneoptera Species File serves as a bridge for convenient movement among the Aphid, Coleorryncha, Coreoidea, and Psocodea Species Files as well as the Arthropoda Species File.
Aphid
Species File
Coleorrhyncha
Species File
Coreoidea
Species File
The Coreoidea Species File database contains taxonomic and other information about all the leatherbugs of the world. Presently, most names are included. A companion catalogue of the World Coreidae and Alydidae with all fossil taxa and more complete bibliographic references has been submitted to Zootaxa for publication.
