It also contains significant collections from freshwaters of Mexico (1,268), Costa Rica (1,351), Venezuela (1,964) and Zambia (992), among other countries. All records, but not all data, (in particular that regarding loans and specimen availability, as well as miscellaneous notes) are included in the online database.
