The Plecoptera Species File website includes valid names, their synonyms, and links to references for stonefly species of the world.

Valid names and synonyms are now available for the entire world fauna. A key to all 16 families is provided, but currently is not illustrated. Other stonefly systematists are encouraged to assume an active role in the maintenance of this resource: alert us to errors or inconsistencies in the database, adopt the management of groups you are revising or have revised, provide pdfs of recently published works, and send properly attributed images for posting on the website.

To see information contained in the database, use the links across the top of the page.  Click on Search to find a specific taxon or other kinds of information.  Clicking on Taxa will make the order Plecoptera your current taxon unless you have previously moved to a different taxon in this session.

This website and database use Species File Software.  Information about the design and use of SFS may be found on a separate website.
