In order to answer
the many requests which we receive, we place at your disposal an Excel file of
the Latin, German and French names of almost 2000 taxa amongst the most common
in Switzerland.
Do not hesitate to download the systematic files proposed on this page. They
contain the species recorded or potentially present in Switzerland or
in its neighbouring areas. The following
information is provided: order, family,
genera, species, subspecies, author, local names (in several languages) and
national red list status if they exist. The nomenclature used for the selected
groups is based on reference works recognised and systematically used either on
a national scale (for example Fauna Helvetica, Diptera Checklist, 1998), or on
a European scale (for example Freude, Harde & Lohse for the Coleoptera; The
Lepidoptera of Europe, 1996). The choice which has been made is obviously subjective,
but it has the advantage of being clear.
