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

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.
