• Will be developed based on easily recognized
  characteristics as color, size, ratio of tail to
  body, especially distribution range. Having
  filtered by these characteristics, a short
  species list will be available. The existing
  on-line CSIS (species and experts information)
  will provide help to select the right species
  within the short list
