Species

In biology, a species is one of the basic units of biological classification and a taxonomic rank. A species is often defined as a group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring. While in many cases this definition is adequate, more precise or differing measures are...

 according to different sources.

While many authors would accept about 150 species or so, numerous new taxa have become known in recent decades. Thus, in this text the more split-up

Lumpers and splitters

Lumping and splitting refers to a well-known problem in any discipline which has to place individual examples into rigorously defined categories. The lumper/splitter problem occurs when there is the need to create classifications and assign examples to them, for example schools of literature,...

 approach is followed pending more up-to-date information, as it seems that the very low species numbers are certainly gross overlumping, and while the very high numbers presented by some authors are probably a result of oversplitting, they are llikely to be closer to the truth.
