Names may be added to places (usually countries) in cases where different countries or regions use different common names in the same language. For example, Mexico and Costa Rica may have different Spanish names for the same species. This table shows which names have been added to which places, and are listed in order of priority for each place. If two Spanish names are added to Mexico, the one listed first will appear if you prefer to see Spanish names added to Mexico.
