Describe the problem: Based on this GBIF Feedback portal issue: https://github.com/gbif/backbone-feedback/issues/286

The species Carebara longii Wheeler 1903 seems missing from the CoL.

Wheeler's taxon is represented in ITIS and COL by Oligomyrmex longii (Wheeler, 1903) (ITIS TSN 580648, CoL lists it here)

Subsequent to ITIS' last update of the ants, this species was moved to Carabara, where it is known as Carebara longii (Wheeler, 1903). When ITIS next updates the ants this should be resolved, although an ant update has not yet been scheduled.
