[Taxacom] Global Names Index

[Luis POPA]

Is there a way to know/estimate how many animal species are described? 
I'm not talking about how many species are supposed to be out there, but 
how many are actually described?
And another question: Is there a database with scientific names ONLY for 
animals? (like Global Names Index which lists ALL sort of scientifc names)
Thanks.
