Checklist Photos Symposia Syrphidae?

Provisional checklist of the Hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) of the world.

For decades the Syrphidae community mentions there are a bit more than 6000 species of Syrphidae worldwide but nobody knows exactly. The aim of this list is to find this answer and to correct naming errors and stay close to recent scientific discoveries in this field.

The checklist of the world will be a big undertaking and will probably take years to finalize. This is a copy of the Systema Dipterorum (SD) from 2020 and continued from there. All unpublished data and errors that where/are in SD need to be ironed out. The idea is that we can do this collectively and send changed data back to SD/Zoobank. The end result will be a ICZN Code complient checklist with all names ever published.

For now editing will be done directly in the database but a web based editor is in development.

Current stats: 14395 Published names from Linnaeus in 1758 till recently of which 6457 are living species.

You can follow a name to get to the detailed page where you can find old names, synonyms, descriptions.

P.S.: There is a problem with the order of subgenus and subspecies. Will be fixed asap.
