That is one of those questions that would seem to have a simple answer, but doesn't.
As far as listing accepted species names, we generally use the Catalog of Life (
http://www.catalogueoflife.org...), which itself is a compilation of a number of different databases. As an example, the Catalog of Life uses the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (itis.gov) as its source of taxonomic information on North American species. ITIS, in turn, derives its information from a large number of different sources.
