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).
