Chinese Common Names used in Taiwan 台灣使用的中文名稱

In the past few days, I have contributed to iNat's database by adding Chinese common names for Odonata species (dragonflies & damselflies) found in Taiwan. Besides I have also requested the removal of common names used in Hong Kong and China to ensure accuracy for users in Taiwan. Henceforth, Taiwanese users can simply input the Chinese common name when logging an observation, and the system will automatically populate the taxon information.

在過去幾天裡,我把蜻蛉目生物(蜻蜓與豆娘)的中文名稱加到了這個網站的資料庫中,並要求撤除香港與中國所使用的中文名稱顯示在台灣使用者的網頁上。所以從現在開始,台灣的使用者只要鍵入「中文名稱」,系統便會自動帶出它的學名。

While I have endeavored to include all relevant names, there may be a few that I overlooked. If you notice any omissions, please feel free to add them to the system or notify me, and I will rectify it promptly.

雖然我加了全部的中文名稱,但難免會有疏漏,如果你發現任何一個蜻蛉目生物(蜻蜓與豆娘)沒有台灣用的中文名稱,請逕自加道系統中,或是留言給我,我會把它加進去的。

Furthermore, there are several subspecies not currently available in the database. I am in contact with the curators and providing supporting materials in an effort to incorporate them into the database. Apart from the general absence of nominate subspecies, there are also a few specific ones that are not listed. Any progress made in this regard will be updated here accordingly.

此外,iNat 的資料庫中也少了許多亞種的學名。我正與管理人員接洽並提供相關的佐證資料,試著把這些亞種的學名加進去。除了大體上「指名亞種」都沒有之外,有一些特定亞種的學名也不在資料庫中。有任何進度,我會在此向各位報告。
