| Abstract: |
A successor to 14 published volumes by Bonnet, Roewer, Brignoli, Platnick, and the online version by Platnick, the World Spider Catalog aims to provide listings of all currently valid species, genera, and families of spiders, all their synonyms, and all significant taxonomic references to each species, from Linnaeus to date. The World Spider Catalog is continuously updated. |
