Searching families - things to know

• At present, only family names that are currently considered to be taxonomically valid and nomenclaturally available are included in the RWC. Adding all previously established family-group names is planned for the future.

• Each family-group name is listed together with its 'original spelling' to highlight whether or not subsequent changes have occurred in accordance with the rules of zoological nomenclature.

• For more general hints on how to best use this site see “Help”.
