Preamble

This interactive key uses NaviKey, a web interface for DELTA files. Contrary to convential dichotomous keys, where the author of the key enforces the user of the key to follow a predefined sequence of characters, NaviKey allows users to select characters themselves in order to identify a specimen. Clicking on a taxon name will produce a list of all character states of the selected taxon. Note: both the user interface and the data contained here in are experimental.
