In addition there are also 2 cases involving protists which might be valid but should be checked:
Peranemataceae
not unique for a single taxon group. Appears in both Protists and Pteridophytes Sagittariidae
not unique for a single taxon group. Appears in both Protists and Birds At least one of these (the only one I checked so far) has already been addressed in ITIS:
Sphecoid wasp family name Heterogynidae Nagy, 1969 is a junior homonym of lepidopteran family Heterogynidae Rambur, 1866. The stem and family name were emended (to Heterogyna- and Heterogynaidae) by the ICZN in Opinion 1445 (1987)
BUT since COL gets the Apoidea from ITIS, it should already be resolved in COL. In fact, it is resolved in COL, so I wonder if some of the others you list are already resolved too?
Leptosomatidae was already resolved in ITIS' birds, and so is already resolved in COL. This comment describes the issue & resolution in ITIS (Leptosomidae is the correct name for the bird family): "The bird family spelling variant 'Leptosomatidae' (TSN 178131), correctly given as Leptosomidae (TSN 553456), was suppressed in Opinion 1068 (1977). The name was originally published by Blyth as subfamily Leptosominae. The suppressed name would have caused homonymy issues with the nematode family Leptosomatidae Filipjev, 1916 (TSN 62709)"
The mammal (bat) Macroglossinae junior homonym was replaced by Macroglossusinae Almeida, Simmmons and Giannini, 2020 in ITIS, and in COL, so this is also already resolved. Can you re-run your check to filter out the cases involving names that are in synonymy?
Protist family Sagittariidae Grandori & Grandori, 1935 vs. bird family Sagittariidae [authorship TBD]... I'm not entirely sure who is the proper author of the bird name per ICZN, but it was already in use by 1930. But unless they are both treated under the "zoological" Code, it would not be an issue. The type genera are not identical (-us bird vs. -a protist).
Oh, sorry. Some of these seem to have slipped through as synonyms! That is fine of course
The results above were an outcome of some entirely different coding effort. When I analyze just the higher, accepted Animal taxa I get a much larger number of redundant names. Here are the ones that are left if I remove all unique names. The list is huge, but there might be cases where the same name is used at different ranks. Not sure if we should see that above genus level. But the ones with 4 copies or more I checked are real homonyms that should not exist in COL:
A lot of them are tribes...
@thomasstjerne We have specific tasks to report on dupes for orders, superfamilies, families, genera and subgenera. I would suggest to also add a task for tribes as these seem to slip through with current procedures.
The duplicate tool shows about 2200 duplicate accepted uninomials in COL within the same nomenclatural code: https://www.checklistbank.org/catalogue/3/duplicates?catalogueKey=3&category=uninomial&codeDifferent=false&limit=100&minSize=2&mode=STRICT&rankDifferent=false&status=accepted
This is clearly wrong. Even the task board shows the problems quickly. Identicial orders, superfamilies and families should not exist in any release:
There are >200 higher supergeneric duplicates that should be addressed quickly.
The current procedure for dealing with these duplicates is to create editorial decisions to apply a provisionally accepted status to these, so we end up with just a single fully accepted name. That is not ideal and we should think about ways to fully exclude duplicates. We should consider to follow a similar procedure as with unplaced species which are directly placed under a family, skipping a genus parent. @dhobern @olafbanki could we come up with some written COL checklist guidelines that users know what to expect from the product and editors and sources know how we want common problems to be addressed?
The duplicate tool shows about 2200 duplicate accepted uninomials in COL within the same nomenclatural code:
I can see 5 groups of duplicates in this report :
1) Names under different Codes. Any ideas on what to do in this case?
Examples:
2) Names under the same Code, but without authorship (or authorship without a year). Editorial decision requires a lot of additional investigation (need a good team of experts).
Examples:
3) Names under the same Code, with authorships with a year. This set of names can be resolved easily. I just need a guarantee that decisions on duplicates across GSDs will be preserved and re-applied with each monthly release.
Example:
4) Special case of Systema Dipterorum requires editorial resolution of conflicts inside Systema Dipterorum.
Example:
5) Cases related to PaleoBioDB, IRMNG & regional ITIS data imported from the AC19 classification. Taxonomy Group help with these data in CoL is very welcome: which redundant taxa need to be removed.
There are 200 higher supergeneric duplicates that should be addressed quickly.
I was able to resolve only 6 duplicates of 200 from the group 3. Others belong to groups 2, 4 & 5 mentioned above.
Well, applied decisions are not shown in this report.
- Names under different Codes. Any ideas on what to do in this case?
The query was to ignore different codes as these are valid names. I suspect we do not have the code set in all names. Maybe you can update that for those names? If the original data does not yet contain a nomenclatural code this can be specified in a sectors settings. If you give me a list of source datasets per code I could also apply that setting in the database for all its sectors, cause I can see this can get tedious. Please think of setting the code for new sectors.

Ah, I see. I am indeed not sure if we can apply decisions in the project yet. We started that work, but I am not certain if it was ever finished. @thomasstjerne do you remember what the current situation is with decisions created via the project instead of the source view? If it works (the UI needs to retrieve different dataset/project keys) they would end up just as regular decisions in the source and are as stable as others. If I am not mistaken you cannot view decisions in the project view though as the API does not support that.
@dhobern:
5. Cases related to PaleoBioDB, IRMNG & regional ITIS data imported from the AC19 classification. Taxonomy Group help with these data in CoL is very welcome: which redundant taxa need to be removed.
Actually, every item in this discussion is for Taxonomy Group - @dhobern
I would also like to see TG assessment of Systema Dipterorum classification/data (and WTaxa, TITAN). We have many internal conflicts there, which we cannot repair on our side with @gdower
Another question: does ICZN prohibit homonymy (or even regulate names) above family-group? GSDs may ignore any kind of best practice introduced by CoL or GBIF.
Names above family are not regulated by ICZN. But does that mean COL should not care?
Actually, names above the family-group (superfamily is the highest) are regulated under the ICZN, but only certain Articles apply to them (e.g., Priority does not apply). Specifically, per Art. 1.2.2, "Articles 1-4, 7-10, 11.1-11.3, 14, 27, 28 and 32.5.2.5 also regulate names of taxa at ranks above the family group." Homonymy is handled in Arts. 52-60, so it does not apply to names above the family-group ranks. Also keep in mind that homonymy in the ICZN is considered only within a given rank-group (within the family-group ranks, within the genus-group ranks, and within the species-group ranks). So no help from that......
Within the ranks that do deal w/homonymy, there is also this little detail, which is probably not part of the issue here (probably not a common issue): "2.2. Names of taxa at some time but not later classified as animals Any available name of a taxon that has at any time been classified as animal continues to compete in homonymy in zoological nomenclature even though the taxon is later not classified as animal."
I suspect we do not have the code set in all names. Maybe you can update that for those names? If the original data does not yet contain a nomenclatural code this can be specified in a sectors settings. If you give me a list of source datasets per code I could also apply that setting in the database for all its sectors, cause I can see this can get tedious.
I have checked all GSDs@CoL. Almost all under Geoff and mine management have assigned Code. Few GSDs managed by other people and I cannot check Code assignment. Set of checklists contains taxa under different Codes (marked in my report as "mixed") - how to assign Code to their sectors?
