The originally underlying species check-list has been worked on during 2010–2020 with the earlier version 1.3 (Downloads).
The new BrassiBase release is build on a completely revised checklist, which is actually comprising 363 accepted genera, 4148 accepted species,
428 subspecies and 58 varieties (excluding nominates) distributed across 61 tribes, five supertribes and two subfamilies.
