First, taxonomy is the product of a long history with a scat- tered literature. Second, because many taxonomists lack access to comparative material (specimens and litera- ture), a lack of context is often apparent. For about 100 years after Linnaeus (1758) published the tenth edition of Systema Naturae, a relatively small number of spe- cies were described (Fig. 1) and by few taxonomists. With the explosion of exploration from the mid \9>h Century there was a corresponding increase in collec-
