"How do you describe new biodiversity when you have no way of knowing what is new?"

We don't need EoL, CoL, GBIF or any of the other giant acronymic projects to recognise and describe new biodiversity. The thought that they could ever aim to replace the primary literature (digitised or not) or expert judgement is an alarming one.
