For the insects in the phylum Arthropoda, there are 3275 species and 148 infraspecies to be added into order Coleoptera, 263 species and 10 infraspecies to be added into order Lepidoptera, 197 species and 2 infraspecies to be added into order Phasmida . In the phylum of Mollusca, there are 4 species to be added into order Architaenioglossa, 1 species to be added into order Ellobiida, 3 species to be added into order Mesogastropoda, 140 species and 15 infraspecies to be added into order Stylommatophora.[Plantae] The checklist of Plantae are updated wholly in this version.There are 341 species and 16 infraspecies to be added into phylum Tracheophyta, 9 species to be added into phylum Bryophyta, 6 species to be added into phylum Marchantiophyta, 2 species to be added into phylum Anthocerotophyta.[Fungi] The checklist of Fungi are updated wholly in this version.There are 1603 species and 40 infraspecies to be added in the phylum of Ascomycota, 403 species and 50 infraspecies are added into phylum Basidiomycota, 1 species is added into phylum Chytridiomycota, 2 species and 1 infraspecies are added into phylum Mucoromycota, the phylum of Incertae sedis are new updated wholly in this version with 12 species and 1 species infraspecies.Based on the 2022 version, we introduce a process for checklist data quality assessment considering several factors such as data source, data completeness and scrutiny status.
