Foreword
These editions of the Checklist of CITES species and of the Annotated CITES Appendices and
reservations (the latter in the accompanying CD-ROM only) take into account the amendments to the
CITES Appendices and the changes in nomenclature adopted at the 13th meeting ofthe Conference of
thePartiestoCITES (Bangkok,2004).
At that meeting, the Conference ofthe Parties recognized the Checklist and its updates as an official
digestofthescientific names ofspecies listedintheCITES Appendicesreflectingthenames containedin
the official standard references. We are most grateful to the UNEP World Conservation Monitoring
Centre (UNEP-WCMC) for undertaking the production ofthis Checklist once again, and particularly to
thestaffresponsible forthemeticulousworkinvolved.
The costs ofpreparation andproduction ofthis Checklist have beenborneby the European Commission,
the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (United Kingdom) and UNEP-WCMC, as well as by the
CITES Secretariat, andwewishtothankourpartnersverymuchfortheirimportantcontributions.
We know that this Checklist is widely used and appreciated by Management Authorities, Scientific
Authorities, Customs officers and other people involved in the implementation ofCITES, as well as by
non-governmental organizations, academics, the press and others. We are conscious, however, that we
must continue to try to meet the changing needs ofthe users ofthis guide. Forthis reason in particular,
wewelcomethecomments andsuggestionsofallusersonwaystoimproveitinthefuture.

Introduction
CITES-listed fauna and flora
This book and CD-ROM provide a Checklist ofthe fauna and the flora listed in Appendices I, II and III
ofCITES as adopted by the Conference ofthe Parties, valid from 17 February 2005. The CD-ROM also
includes the Annotated CITESAppendices andreservations, which have an index to family names and
common names. It is hoped that these lists will act as an aid to Management and Scientific Authorities,
Customs officials, andall others involved in implementing andenforcingthe Convention.
General note
Thenamesused inthe CITES Appendicesarethe scientific namesapprovedbythe CITESNomenclature
Committee and adoptedby the Conference ofthe Parties to CITES. Common names inthe Checklistand
Annotated Appendices are included only for reference. If the common name of an animal or plant
included in the CITES Appendices is not included, it should be looked for under its scientific name or
underanothercommonname.
Species included inthe ChecklistandAnnotatedAppendices are referredto:
a) by thenameofthe species; or
b) asbeingall ofthe species included in ahighertaxon ordesignatedpartthereof.
Other references to taxa above the specific level are for the purposes ofinformation or classification
only.
Further details relating to each taxon, including distribution and author names, are included in the
CITES-species database available on the CITES website (www.cites.org).
Nomenclature and taxonomy
The nomenclature andtaxonomy followed in this publication arethe same as forthe CITES Appendices.
In most cases where the Appendices list only the name ofan order, family or genus, the names ofthe
individual species in that higher taxon have been included in this Checklist. Where a standard reference
has been adopted by the Conference of the Parties, the names of the species follow the relevant
publications indicatedintheReferences section attheendofthispublication. Theseadoptednames are in
bold in the Checklist. Where no standard reference has been adopted (as noted in the References) the
names ofspecies in higher taxa are those currently used in the UNEP-WCMC database and have been
extractedfromanumberofpublications.
Checklist
The Checklist ofCITES-listed species comprises an alphabetical list offauna followed by flora. There
are three types ofentry: scientific name, common name and scientific synonym. The common name and
synonym entries serve as indexes to the adopted scientific name entries, where CITES-related
information isprovided.

Scientific
TheChecklistcontainsthe scientificnames, inalphabetical order, ofall animal andplanttaxalistedinthe
CITES Appendices, with the exception ofthe genera ofAppendix-II listed orchids not covered by the
three published volumes of the CITES Orchid Checklist, for which only the name of the genus is
included, e.g.Aaspp.
Format 1) The scientific name (in bold for those adopted by the Conference of the
Parties);
2) Optional-English(E),French(F)and Spanish(S)commonnames;
3) Optional - the symbols #1- #10 and superscript numbers (e.g.1) (see
Interpretationbelow);

A few species not listed in the CITES Appendices are included for information, namely three species of
Psittaciformes:Agapornisroseicollis,MelopsittacusundulatusandNymphicushollandicus,andfourspeciesof
Falconiformes: Cathartes aura, Cathartes burrovianus, Cathartes melambrotus and Coragyps atratus -
these are the only species in these large orders not coveredby CITES provisions. Similarly,Aloe vera is the
