The Global Lepidoptera Names Index
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2016) |
The Global Lepidoptera Names Index (LepIndex) is a searchable
Zoological Record. It contains most of world's Lepidoptera names published until 1981 and for some groups is up to date.[1] As of May 2023[update], the site reads "Database last updated January 2018" so the current validity of the taxonomic combinations presented should be adopted with caution.[2]
LepIndex allows anyone free internet access to:
- the zoological authority who named a butterfly or moth species
- where the original description was published
- status of the name (valid name or synonym)
It is the main source of Lepidoptera names in the Integrated Taxonomic Information System and Catalogue of Life.[3]
