Top 10 New Species announced

Every year, the International Institute for Species Exploration at Arizona State University picks a Top 10 of recently described species. This year (covering discoveries in 2008) they had 18,225 new species to consider. That's not a typo. 18,225. Two plants and eight animals made the top 10 list. A favorite: the wildly-colored, flat-faced Psychedelic Frogfish.
