Where the names come fromVictorian occurrence catalogue
Searching…Updated 20 October 2026 · Names with Victorian source records. Source records can include uncertain identifications and historic material.
Licensed photo lookup is available for every name. A “Genus reference” shows a relative; some names have no verified photograph. Sources overlap, so their record counts are shown separately.
More than one window into the insect world.
The catalogue combines ALA species-name facets, active species-rank iNaturalist taxa, and matched GBIF names with Victorian records. Case and spacing duplicates are merged. Some source names remain synonyms or provisional names, so the totals count named entries, not independently verified biological species.
