The purpose of this website is to facilitate recognition of species and their geographic distributions in Western Australia, including those that are not formally described.

By signing up for this service, you are agreeing to use this site for the purpose of species distribution recognition or specimen identification and research (for taxonomists). You also agree not to publish any formal species descriptions without the written consent of the Western Australian Museum (WAM).

The site is only as good as the data that are available at the time therefore the Western Australian Museum encourages contribution through voucher specimen submissions for new locality data and new species pages to increase the data bank. Please contact the WAMinals administrator for information on how you can contribute.

Note that the Western Australian Museum does not take responsibility for specimen identifications not undertaken by WAM staff.

Although identifications in this website were consistent with the best available information and current scientific thinking at the time of identification, the use of this website is at the risk of the user.  Any liability to users of this website for loss of any kind arising out of the use of this website or the information and identifications it contains is expressly disclaimed.
