Ellis and Messina Catalogues

The Catalogues reproduce the complete type descriptions for genus- and species-level taxa, including full-size reproduction of original figures and charts. Diagnoses in western European languages are given verbatim, while those in Russian, Chinese, and other non-western languages are translated by professional micropaleontologists. The stratigraphic level, locality and depository of the type material are given for each species, and bibliographic references and taxonomic terms are expanded and verified against the Ellis and Messina database. Between 200 to 300 new taxa are added yearly to each catalogue. As of 2010, the Catalogues have more than 45,000 Foraminifera, 28,000 Ostracoda, and 8,000 Diatom genera and species.

New pages are added on an annual basis.
