Here is some information on biodiversity databases I collected once. Someday I (or someone else) will hopefully move them into List of biodiversity databases.

Name URL Type Focus Collection
List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature http://www.bacterio.cict.fr/ Taxonomy Prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) Taxon names, current status, changes over time. Includes new descriptions, subspecific splits, and those published outside the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology.
Integrated Taxonomy Information System http://www.itis.gov/ Taxonomy All life Taxon names, current status, source information.
NCBI Taxonomy http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/taxonomy Taxonomy All life, some non-living things Widely used in the Semantic Web community because of the taxonomy ontology.
Mammal Species of the World, 3rd edition http://www.bucknell.edu/msw3/ Taxonomy Mammals Reasonably authoritative for mammals, does not have full references online.
