The checklist project was begun in 1980 and developed particularly during a study of the west Himalayan fauna and as part of work on the fauna of China. Some of the broader revisions that have had the greatest influence include works by Vogt (1909, 1911), Franklin (1913), Stephen (1957), Milliron (1970b, 1971, 1973a, b), Løken (1973, 1984), Pekkarinen (1979), Reinig (1981), Wang (1982, 1987, 1988), Rasmont (1983, 1988), Thorp et al. (1983), Labougle (1990), and especially the publications by Skorikov (1910-1938) and Tkalcu (1959-1989).
