  abstract = {{T}he limited temporal completeness and taxonomic accuracy of species lists, made available in a traditional manner in scientific publications, has always represented a problem. {T}hese lists are invariably limited







to a few taxonomic groups and do not represent up-to-date knowledge of all species and classifications. {I}n this context, the {B}razilian megadiverse fauna is no exception, and the {C}atálogo {T}axon{\^o}mico da {F}auna do {B}rasil







({CTFB}) (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br/), made public in 2015, represents a database on biodiversity anchored on a list of valid and expertly recognized scientific names of animals in {B}razil. {T}he {CTFB} is updated in near real time







by a team of more than 800 specialists. {B}y {J}anuary 1, 2024, the {CTFB} compiled 133,691 nominal species, with 125,138 that were considered valid. {M}ost of the valid species were arthropods (82.3%, with more than 102,000







species) and chordates (7.69%, with over 11,000 species). {T}hese taxa were followed by a cluster composed of {M}ollusca (3,567 species), {P}latyhelminthes (2,292 species), {A}nnelida (1,833 species), and {N}ematoda (1,447 spe-







cies). {A}ll remaining groups had less than 1,000 species reported in {B}razil, with {C}nidaria (831 species), {P}orifera (628 species), {R}otifera (606 species), and {B}ryozoa (520 species) representing those with more than 500 species.







{A}nalysis of the {CTFB} database can facilitate and direct efforts towards the discovery of new species in {B}razil, but it is also fundamental in providing the best available list of valid nominal species to users, including those







in science, health, conservation efforts, and any initiative involving animals. {T}he importance of the {CTFB} is evidenced by the elevated number of citations in the scientific literature in diverse areas of biology, law, anthropology, education, forensic science, and veterinary science, among others},
