suggest to check casing of taxonomic names #7

In some records, the name "Baeria Chrysostoma" appears. Assuming that this is a full species name, the casing look suspicious or perhaps incorrect. Casing of species names is important because some taxonomic name resolving tools use it to parse the name parts. When capitalized, it might be considered a reference to the person that introduced the name.

Suggest to change to: "Baeria chrysostoma" instead.

Also, suggest to double check all species name to check that casing is applied confirm taxonomic naming conventions.
