GLI, Global Lepidoptera Index (id 55434): test report

[yroskov]

LepIndex ver. "2022-04-39 / 2022-04-30" on PROD: https://www.checklistbank.org/dataset/55434/classification

• [x] Imported: 154,619 spp

[yroskov]

• [ ] GSD id. LepIndex was imported in CLB as dataset id 55434. Old LepIndex has original persistent id 1018 since 2006. If this is still LepIndex, not a brand new dataset, we should use id 1018. @Geoff, what do you think?

Name and legal issues. “LepIndex”, identical to NHM dataset, and a full name “Global Lepidoptera Index” vs NHM “The Global Lepidoptera Names Index” (https://www.nhm.ac.uk/our-science/data/lepindex/lepindex/). Both titles are almost identical for users. For sure, it will create a confusion in the information space. People will mess LepIndex @ NHS with LepIndex @ TaxonWorks. Appropriate explanation of a new life for LepIndex data should appear at NHM website before we include LepIndex @TaxonWorks in CoL. 2022-05-06: "TaxonWorks Lepidoptera"

Version. “2022-04-39”, i.e. in a style of date. Users will understand this Users will understand this (as shown in the CoL/CLB interface) as two dates together “2022-04-39 / 2022-04-30”, the first with typo. Would you please consider to change a style of version, for example as ver. “39, Apr 2022”, or as “2022-39” (if “39” is a linear iteration, not a typo). 2022-05-06: "2022-04-30 / 2022-04-30"

Authors & editors. No names so far. Any delimitation between Creators, Editors & Contributors? Names from original website (George Beccaloni, Malcolm Scoble, Ian Kitching, Thomas Simonsen, Gaden Robinson, Brian Pitkin, Adrian Hine & Chris Lyal). Definitely, we need names before we release dataset as a part of CoL.

Publisher. Do you consider Species Files Group to be the publisher of the dataset?

Abstract. I would suggest to add time intervals in two phrases to make steps transparent. “LepIndex [which version?] was subsequently imported into TaxonWorks [in 20??-20??] and is now maintained as an online curated resource”. “Significant updates have been made [in 20??-20??] to some families…”. ( It’s important to know, which version of LepIndex was imported in TaxonWorks. NHM website says “Database last updated January 2018”, CoL used a version 12.3 of Jan 2012. Nice to know, which data were imported in TW and when).

[dhobern]

The (nec) and (non) cases should all be flagged as misapplied names. Are there issues in the current LepIndex import that I should immediately attempt to fix?

[mdoering]

Subspecies Assigned, 151. At least some of these names, CLB incorrectly parsed species names with two-word epithet as subspecies. Examples, Agrias pseudo lesoudieri Le Moult, 1926; Agrias semi rileyi Michener; Cosmopteryx sancti vincentii Walsingham, 1892 https://www.checklistbank.org/catalogue/3/dataset/55434/workbench?facet=rank&facet=issue&facet=status&facet=nomStatus&facet=nameType&facet=field&facet=authorship&facet=authorshipYear&facet=extinct&facet=environment&facet=origin&issue=subspecies%20assigned&limit=100&offset=0 = NO ACTIONS IN CLB (@dhobern, whether solution should be found in TW, or Markus script should be adjusted)

The verbatim data does place 2 words in the specificEpithet field, so we don't need to parse the names and the resulting name is just fine: https://api.checklistbank.org/dataset/55434/name/180232-0d0b0af472257a86e183be5385ee54e8

If we only had a scientificName string, the name parser provides the option of manual configurations for such cases. It is rather impossible to find a rule for those multi word epithet. I am slightly surprised to not see so many without hyphens.

But are we sure all these cases are indeed species? Agriades cuneo lunulata Tutt, 1909 or autonyms like Agriades cuneata cuneata Tutt, 1909. The issue flags potential errors and it would be good to check them all.

[dhobern]

AAAAAAARGH! These are a complete mess. I suspect these are all supposed to be hyphenated but they are not even properly discoverable for editing inside TaxonWorks. They are in a limbo state. These could probably all be ignored for now as ridiculously obscure synonyms.

[dhobern]

I may be able to get to these one at a time through one of the other TW interfaces. I'll try.

[dhobern]

Here is what I have found. The situations in which these names end up in the LepIndex dataset all seem to be based on names with original hyphens, which have mysteriously disappeared when importing into LepIndex. They include the hyphen in the older NHM import into COL and in the original index cards. For example:

https://www.nhm.ac.uk/our-science/data/lepindex/detail/?taxonno=57675&&snoc=nigro-plumbosa&search_type=starts&sort=snoc&indexed_from=1&page_no=1&page_size=30&path=search

TaxonWorks has taken these names with hyphenated epithet and:

1. Filled the Verbatim name field with the epithet with a space where the hyphen should be.
2. Used the section of the epithet following the hyphen in the main Name field
3. (Apparently) assigned the Rank of species to every one of these regardless of whether the name was originally a specific or an infraspecific epithet. Most of them (but not all - that would be too easy!) were described as forms, aberrations or mutations.

An example of an aberration:

• Tutt 1902 named Cosmotriche potatoria ab. obsoleta-berolinensis here
• The NHM index card shows this correctly here
• Catalogue of Life today has this as a species-rank hyphenated synonym for Euthrix potatoria here - the rank is wrong, but the hyphen is correct.
• TaxonWorks has the name Euthrix berolinensis with a verbatim form Euthrix obsoleta berolinensis here:

An example of a species:

• Walsingham 1891 named Cosmopteryx sancti-vincentii here
• The NHM index card is correct here
• COL has it with the accepted spelling for the genus as Cosmopterix sancti-vincentii here
• TW has it as Cosmopterix vincentii here but does show the original spelling of the genus:

The zoological code says that these names should be corrected to:

• Cosmotriche potatoria ab. obsoletaberolinensis
• Cosmopteryx sanctivincentii

This is how the names should appear in COL, with the hyphenated forms as verbatim names.

[dhobern]

If every example was an aberration or form, I would suggest we simply automate updating them all to forms with complete epithets minus the spaces. However, some are clearly species. These are the ones that actually matter.

In COL today, these all appear, often nonsensically, as species names. If it is possible, the quickest temporary fix on the COL side may be to interpret all of these as if they still have the hyphen. This will leave the data in the same state as the current COL Checklist. Is that possible @mdoering ?

I can go through and steadily fix these names, but it will take some time. Since LepIndex does not know what rank they are (or therefore what the actual parent was), each one will need separate handling and interpretation to make them correct. It will take me time to go through and

[dhobern]

I'm going through these names in TaxonWorks, fixing as many as I can. I've started with the families with just a few cases. The butterfly families and Lasiocampidae have many because collectors obsessed about small differences.

The biggest problem is that doing anything piecemeal in LepIndex rapidly turns into a quicksand experience. For each of these cases where aberrations and forms that include hyphens are misinterpreted as species, there are usually also several where hyphen-free names are misinterpreted in the same way. And a depressing number of LepIndex records are simple misreadings of the text on the cards that have led to the wrong character strings being recorded as names, e.g.:

https://www.nhm.ac.uk/our-science/data/lepindex/detail/?taxonno=243555&&snoc=costimacula&search_type=starts&sort=snoc&indexed_from=1&page_no=3&page_size=30&path=search

https://www.nhm.ac.uk/our-science/data/lepindex/detail/?taxonno=62913&&snoc=albicauda-&search_type=starts&sort=snoc&indexed_from=1&page_no=1&page_size=30&path=search

Ah, well - every fix is a fix ...

[dhobern]

More on why LepIndex and GloBIS (GART) need much more work. 19 of the species identified above with a space in the verbatim specific epithet come from the same publication by Bright & Leeds, 1938. In fact, these 19 are only a tiny part of a total of 301 aberration names described for a single species in the same publication. Every single one of these is incorrectly shown in LepIndex as a species-rank name, and these are don't come close to completing the full synonymy for the species in question. Behold how much taxonomist effort has been expended on Lysandra coridon: https://www.checklistbank.org/dataset/55434/taxon/281369

But, the most fun thing I've realised is that this over-worked species nevertheless does not appear at all in COL (even though there are >26,000 records of the species in GBIF). This is because COL imports the family Lycaenidae from GloBIS, even though the GloBIS site says that COL just takes the much more complete Pieridae and Papilionidae from that dataset. Big chunks of the Lycaenidae are therefore missing in COL. I think I need to recommend a switch to LepIndex rather than GloBIS for this family.

[mdoering]

In COL today, these all appear, often nonsensically, as species names. If it is possible, the quickest temporary fix on the COL side may be to interpret all of these as if they still have the hyphen. This will leave the data in the same state as the current COL Checklist. Is that possible @mdoering ?

During interpretation that is not possible I am afraid. But I guess we could update the current ColDP to apply those corrections. This would cut us off from TW updates though until these fixes are also applied there. Unless we can script it all and reapply - might be doable.

[mdoering]

Actually it is much simpler and flexible if I allow the name interpreter to insert the hyphen. It will be a new feature EPITHET_ADD_HYPHEN that can be turned on dataset wide on demand in the settings.

[dhobern]

OK - if that works. I've managed to process about a third of them now in TaxonWorks and was going to keep plugging away at them tonight.

[dhobern]

I've carried on and processed them all now in TaxonWorks. I haven't worked out the species for which they would be aberrations or forms, but I have fixed all the hyphen/spaces.

@mdoering @yroskov Are there other critical aspects that should be fixed? Or should be reimport from TaxonWorks?

@dhobern,

• The name Acontia (Uracontia) titania Esper has no year in its authorstring. It might be Acontia titania (Esper, 1798)

• There are two identical entries for Acontia (Acontia) aurelia Hacker, Legrain & Fibiger, 2008 in CLB: https://www.checklistbank.org/catalogue/3/dataset/55434/duplicates?authorshipDifferent=false&catalogueKey=3&category=binomial&limit=500&minSize=2&mode=STRICT&offset=0&status=accepted&withDecision=false
