Links to World Wide Web Pages about Invertebrate Identification and Classification:

(not updated for 2004 yet)

ITIS Site

This link goes to the "Database Query" page of the Integrated Taxonomic Information System and can be used to look up the full classification of identified genera or higher taxa, even by common name in some cases.  After the query link takes you to the genus's page, then click on the genus name to see full classification.  If you query higher taxa names, only the classification from there upwards is given, so the best way to enter is with the genus name.
