Introduction

This web site displays a mapping between the digitised version of Nomenclator Zoologicus from uBio, and bibliographic databases such as the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL). The goal is to make it possible to find the original publication of an animal genus. If the publication exists in BHL then you can go directly to the page in the reference where the name was published.

You can search by genus name, author and year, or publication. Examples include:

• - Search for names published by Distant in 1910
• - Search for names published in Ann. Mag. nat. Hist.
• - Search for names published in Proc. biol. Soc. Washington
• - Search for a genus name, such as Protomyobia
• - Search for names that start Neoarct
