[Taxacom] Taxacom Digest, Vol 129, Issue 12

[Andreas Fleischmann]

There is a point of view article on the subject including a 
comprehensive list of animal and plant species described on DNA sequence 
data alone (up to mid-2016):

Renner, SS 2016. A return to Linnaeus’s focus on diagnosis, not 
description: The use of DNA characters in the formal naming of species. 
Systematic Biology 65(6): 1085-1095.

All the best,

Andreas
