## Description

The Interim Register of Marine and Nonmarine Genera (IRMNG) is an essential resource for taxonomic data, encompassing over 1.3 million accepted species and nearly 2.3 million taxon names, including both extant and fossilized organisms. Launched in 2006 as a collaborative initiative by OBIS Australia, IRMNG aims to provide a comprehensive, hierarchical classification system for living and extinct biota, aiding researchers with taxonomic queries related to marine and non-marine taxa.

IRMNG offers several tools, including a search function for taxa, a taxon tree, and the capability to reconcile misspelled names through its "Taxamatch" feature. The database's information is rigorously sourced from notable compendiums like the Nomenclator Zoologicus and the Index Nominum Genericorum. With hosting now supported by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), IRMNG continues to evolve, promoting biodiversity research and collaboration with global biodiversity facilities like GBIF and LifeWatch Belgium. Open-access under the Creative Commons license, IRMNG is a vital hub for taxonomic information.
