Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS)

ITIS is a catalogue of common and scientific names and their synonyms of species of North America and the world.

Search result pages for individual species include the species nomenclature, synonyms, common names and the taxonomic hierarchy (genus, order, family, etc.). In addition, links to resources automatically search on the pertinent terms for the species you select. You can browse the ITIS catalogue on GBIF.

The catalogue is also available here.
