description The construction of hypergeometric 2D Toda τ-functions as generating functions for weighted Hurwitz numbers is extended to multispecies families. Both the enumerative geometrical significance of multispecies weighted Hurwitz numbers, as weighted enumerations of branched coverings of the Riemann sphere, and their combinatorial significance in terms of weighted paths in the Cayley graph of Sn are derived. The particular case of multispecies quantum weighted Hurwitz numbers is studied in detail.

The construction of hypergeometric 2D Toda τ-functions as generating functions for weighted Hurwitz numbers is extended to multispecies families. Both the enumerative geometrical significance of multispecies weighted Hurwitz numbers, as weighted enumerations of branched coverings of the Riemann sphere, and their combinatorial significance in terms of weighted paths in the Cayley graph of Sn are derived. The particular case of multispecies quantum weighted Hurwitz numbers is studied in detail.
This paper is a contribution to the Special Issue on Exact Solvability and Symmetry Avatars in honour of
 Luc Vinet. The full collection is available at http://www.emis.de/journals/SIGMA/ESSA2014.html.
 This work is an extension of a joint project [11, 12] with M. Guay-Paquet, in which the notion of
 infinite parametric families of weighted Hurwitz numbers was first introduced, combined with
 the notion of signed multispecies Hurwitz numbers as introduced in [15] with A.Yu. Orlov. The
 author would like to thank both these co-authors for helpful discussions. Work supported by
