The following list of 514 species is updated through 31 August 2012. Established exotics (e); extinct native species (x) and disestablished exotics (d); and species listed without verifiable evidence (u) shall be so annotated. Sibling species groups may be included without reference to a particular underlying species but shall not be counted in any total of species found in Florida unless none of the underlying species are on the state list.  Species in the list below annotated with an *(review species list) should be documented when detected in Florida and submitted to the FOSRC for review. In addition, documentation should be submitted to the FOSRC for any species detected in Florida , believed to have occurred naturally or to have escaped, but not appearing in the main list below or in its formatted download versions.
