SYSTEMATIC LIST OF GENERA
All taxa mentioned in the text are included in their taxonomic position. Taxa have been included down to either
order or family level. Taxa appear in alphabetical order. Where possible, higher taxon levels are primarily based
on Barnes, R.S.K. (Editor), The Diversity of Living Organisms (1998, Blackwell Science, Oxford). A large
number of colleagues have offered advice and guidance on the classification of particular taxa. I thank them
sincerely but retain responsibility for any errors.
