Zoraptera is one of the smallest and least known insect orders, with only 47 described species, mostly known from tropical regions. Data on their distribution remain largely scattered throughout the extensive and often old and/or not easily accessible literature. Recent changes in the supraspecific classification of the order, combined with recent discoveries of new species and other taxonomic changes, have made the understanding of the distribution of Zoraptera even less clear. To summarize and update the knowledge of the worldwide distribution of Zoraptera, we have compiled a data resource of occurrence records: Zoraptera Occurrence Dataset. The dataset contains up-to-date information on the distribution of all zorapteran species according to the latest classification. The dataset is regularly curated and updated with new records from the literature and revised records from iNaturalist and GBIF.
