A search engine can be found here.

Usage
The WikiQueer Manual of Style recommends that taxa of the rank Genera and below be italicized (i.e. supergenus, subgenus, genus, species, subspecies, and varieties). Higher taxa should not be italicized. Italicizing when appropriate can be done using wiki markup as in the example below.

Examples
Taxa around the rank of genus and below should be italicized:
 *   →

Taxa around the rank of family (including subfamily, tribe, etc.) and above are not italicised:
 *   →

For use in lists, etc.:
