Astenus homonym issue can't be resolved through higher taxonomy #222

The beetle genus Astenus returns a homonym warning, even if the full hierarchy is provided to names matching. It is listed in IRMNG, with all three homonyms having the same higher taxonomy, but Astenus is also in our taxonomy as synonym of its subgenus, and that could be causing the issue. Investigation is needed.

Occurrence record should ideally go to the subgenus rather than the genus - Astenus (Astenus) not Astenus
