Abstract We are entering the sixth mass extinction with little data for “dark taxa”, although they comprise most species. Much of neglect is due to fact that conventional taxonomic methods struggle handling thousands specimens belonging hundreds thus here propose a new strategy we call taxonomy”. It addresses (i) impediments, (ii) lack biodiversity baselines and (iii) low impact revisionary research. Taxonomic impediments reduced by carrying out revisions at small geographic scales keep number low. The risk error delimiting species based on two types data. furthermore show dark taxonomy can yield important baseline using samples obtained biomonitoring traps. Lastly, argue research be improved publishing papers addressing different readerships. principles illustrated our treatment Singapore's fungus gnats (Mycetophilidae) only Malaise trap samples. first batch ( N = 1454) contains 120 species, which 115 science, reducing increasing described Oriental 25%. Species delimitation started DNA barcodes estimate Molecular Operational Units (MOTUs) before “LIT” (Large‐scale Integrative Taxonomy) was used obtain boundaries integrating morphological molecular To test completeness revision, next analysed second 1493 found >97% belonged delimited batch. Indeed, contained 18 rare MOTUs, i.e. study suggests single revision simultaneously names all relevant Overall, believe taxonomy” quickly ready large unknown taxon biomonitoring.

Aims:The aim of this paper is to summarize the world new taxa extant Coleoptera in 2022, and sort out species records China separately.Methods: By searching relevant databases related taxonomic journals, with help peer experts, 857 journal publications 1 monograph were obtained analyzed.Results: In a total 2,810 globally, including subfamily, 2 tribes, 3 subtribes, 144 genera, 48 subgenera, 2,570 species, 42 subspecies observed.Additionally, 620 combinations, 457 synonyms, 39 upgradations, 12 degradations proposed.As most biodiverse countries these taxa, 8 7 480 9 subspecies, 11 newly recorded subgenus, 87 newlyrecorded China. Conclusion:Yunnan Xizang are hot regions for (subspecies) discovery China, accounting about 46% published (subspecies).The 2022 lower than it was 2021, globally.
