Abstract
January 1, 2008 marks the 250th anniversary of the official publication date of Systema Naturae (Linnaeus 1758)recognized by ICZN (1999). During the last two and a half centuries, Linnaeus (1758)’ system for naming, ranking andclassifying organisms has allowed us to document the pattern of life on Earth, Darwin (1850)’s theory of evolution hashelped us to understand the process how this diversity of life came about, and Hennig (1966)’s phylogeneticmethodology has enabled us reconstruct the tree of life. During the last two decades or so, the internet has dramaticallychanged the way we live and work. The rapid advances in bioinformatics have provided taxonomists unprecedentedopportunities to do their research more efficiently and make their findings more accessible. Cybertaxonomy is emergingas an exciting new branch of taxonomy (Wheeler 2007).
