Abstract:

SysMyr was developed by Jörg Spelda, in collaboration with the Bavarian State Collection for Zoology as a taxonomic backbone for the GBIF node 'evertebrata2'. It has diverse information on over 19,000 names of Chilopoda, Diplopoda, Pauropoda and Symphyla. The acceptance status is automatically evaluated and depends on the latest citation found in the included literature. As names are automatically extracted from literature be aware of the fact that there are still many synonyms not yet connected. They occur as valid species at present. SysMyr contributes data on the Diplopoda, Pauropoda and Symphyla to the Catalogue of Life.
