Review (by Malcolm Storey)

Taxonomic information, distribution by country or state, and references - many of which can be downloaded.

"The CCW includes over 17,000 taxa names, covering all genera, subgenera, species, subspecies, and synonyms for the families Cylindrotomidae, Limoniidae, Pediciidae, and Tipulidae (Insecta, Diptera, Nematocera, Tipuloidea). For all species and subspecies it includes:

the distribution, specified in countries, and for the larger countries, states, provinces, islands.
a reference citation for most of the important details in which it differs from the printed regional catalogues.
reference citation for all figures and relevant information published by C.P. Alexander, F.W. Edwards (westpalaearctic excepted), G. Theischinger, and as published in most of the fairly recent papers."
