The identifier 7HCQP was used in release COL 20.12 until 23.8 for Macrogastra mellae ripkeni Falkner, 2000 which is now https://www.catalogueoflife.org/data/taxon/BNMGX

COL versions for a long time: http://api.checklistbank.org/nameusage?id=7HCQP

2242 ->COL 20.12 2296 ->COL21.4 2303 ->COL21.5 ... 9916 ->COL 23.7 9923 ->COL 23.8

The switch occurred between the 23.08 and 23.09 release:

https://www.checklistbank.org/dataset/9923/names?q=Macrogastra%20mellae%20ripkeni https://www.checklistbank.org/dataset/267522/names?q=Macrogastra%20mellae%20ripkeni

There is also a synonym with the same nidx which includes a subgenus: Macrogastra (Pyrostoma) mellae ripkeni Falkner, 2000

this continues to have its previous identifier 5JH6P and might be related to losing the other one
