*[http://aphid.SpeciesFile.org Aphid Species File] Aphid Species File is a taxonomic and bibliographic database of the aphids and allied groups of the world. If the authorship attribution of a genus or species of Aphididae is missing, you can find it in a recent literature citation or "scrutiny" record. If your favorite species is not listed with its proper authorship, it simply means the relevant published original description is not yet on file. Send a copy to Colin and he will get it entered right away!

*[http://Blattodea.SpeciesFile.org Blattodea Species File] The Blattodea Species File (BSF) is a database of the scientific names of the world's cockroaches (order Blattodea or Blattaria), excluding fossil species and termites. Note that until recently termites were treated as a separate order, Isoptera, but recent work confirms that they are in fact cockroaches.

**The BSF includes c. 6,700 scientific names (all ranks, valid and not valid) and c. 4,600 valid species are recognised. Images of museum specimens (especially types), plus pictures of living cockroaches are slowly being added.

**NOTE: The spellings of the scientific names in the BSF, plus the names of their authors and the year of their description are now more accurate than in the world catalogue of cockroaches by Princis published between 1962 and 1971. In addition the synonomy and higher classification of most taxa is up-to-date, unlike Princis' catalogue. Having said this, there are still likely to be errors, so if you find any please inform George.
