Abstract: | The Neuropterida Species of the World catalogue documents fundamental taxonomic, nomenclatural and distributional information on extant and extinct neuropterid species on a global scale. The catalogue is a primary component of the Lacewing Digital Library (LDL) web portal (http://lacewing.tamu.edu/). The Catalogue of Life dataset is restricted to a taxonomic checklist of extant species.
