 PBI Catalog - Introduction
Unlike the Carvalho Catalog, this database does not include literature citations of taxa in catalogs, other than for the work of Carvalho, except for the few cases where there is new information on nomenclature or the status of names.
Therefore, in addition to those species-group taxa that have been formally synonymized in the literature, all subspecies (and varieties and forms described before 1961 and not subsequently elevated to species) are treated as synonyms.
Allma Edwards typed the literature section of the Carvalho catalog from which the database bibliography for the literature prior to 1956 was generated.

 Introduction -- a/o cat.
Gender endings of species-group names: Names in synonymy are cited in their original orthography, but to satisfy Article 30 of the Code, valid names have been checked and changed when necessary to ensure that the ending agrees in gender with the genus under which it is presently combined.
Names of valid species that occur in areas due to introduction (deliberate or accidental) or immigration are annotated in brackets after the locality(s) concerned where this information is known or has been supplied by the authors.
In some cases, interceptions may have been recorded in the literature but no evidence is known of a taxon's current establishment in a locality.
