Author’s Note:

This checklist is still in the alpha stage. As you will notice, there are some glaring gaps – no cockroaches, hemipterans are sorely lacking – while other taxa have hundreds of species under their name. This merely reflects the progress in the bibliographic work – this is a solo project done in my spare time, for now at least. This is also why the taxa are not ordered systematically. All in due time.
Citations and sources will be added in a future update.
The checklist and raw bibliographic data is only the first step. In the future, this will serve as a hub for taxonomists, amateur enthusiasts and the lay public. I plan on giving every taxon (from the order down to the species) its own page, with taxonomic data (records, name histories), pictures and diagnostic diagrams, and identification keys at the appropriate nodes (for the sake of public outreach, this will include keys to the insect orders). In the distant future, as monitoring programs hopefully get underway, species distribution maps will also become possible to make.
If you spot any errors or would like to contribute something (anything is appreciated, from pictures to addenda to the list), drop me an e-mail at m.srour@enaliaphysis.org.cy.
