On how to add new species to the database
User Boutelous wrote: "If a species or other taxon is missing in the iNaturalist database, try typing the name into the identification field of an observation and choosing "Search External Name Providers." You can also search for it under "Species" in the main navigation menu on any page, then scroll to the bottom where it says "Not Seeing What You're Looking For?" and click the Search buttons in that section. This will try to import the name automatically from Catalog of Life and some other sources. If that doesn't work, it will need to be added manually by an iNat curator, and in those cases, feel free to flag it as you've done here." (https://www.inaturalist.org/flags/214683)
