Gbif consider this name as a synonym, e.g. https://www.gbif.org/species/5880550. can you list all cases where the match is not to rank=species
I see, that makes sense. The problem cases are:
returning rank=Genus:
returning no rank:
GBIF results are called with
data = species_api.name_backbone(name=name, strict=True, rank="SPECIES")
However, some of the calls return
'rank': 'GENUS'
results.Examples:
data = species_api.name_backbone(name='Macaria notata', strict=True, rank="SPECIES")
gives:
Not sure why since https://api.gbif.org/v1/species?name=Macaria%20notata returns species as the first result
