Abstract

Isoptera Species File is a digital global checklist of extant and fossil termite species. The list of valid names is derived from seven volumes of Treatise on the Isoptera of the World by Krishna, K., Grimaldi, D. A., Krishna, V., and M. S. Engel (2013) published in the Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History, 377: 1-2704. doi: 10.1206/377.1. Future versions of the database will include synonyms, references, and distribution data.
