The following table is a Summary of the taxonomic distribution of target taxa, as described in our proposal.
First number is the number of taxa recognized, second is number available, third is number to be
sequenced, fourth is number to be analyzed morphologically. This listing is intended to show the depth
and breadth of our survey. The allocations will change slightly as rare samples are collected and
phylogenetic and taxonomic conflicts arise.
