The Taxonomic Search Engine I recently developed (http://darwin.zoology.gla.ac.uk/~rpage/portal/ ) now queries the GenBank taxonomy, in addition to ITIS, Index Fungorum, uBio, and IPNI. Although GenBank is not an authoritative source of taxonomic names, they do have many names not in these other databases.
