Each year the International Institute for Species Exploration assembles a diverse committee of taxonomists who review thousands of new species that were first described during the previous calendar year. They pick the top most interesting species to share with the public as part of their State of Observed Species Report. The photos below illustrate the "Top Ten New Species for 2009".
