Names inserted to species do not match what EOL has #73

Some species have names attributed to EOL that are from other species. I think the system is adding rows that are misaligned. Maybe the common name variable is being carried over or not cleared between species in the bulk upload?

Bombus crotchii (http://names.mol-api.appspot.com/?lookup=Bombus%20crotchii), which name is "Crotch Bumble Bee" has:

But EOL only had:

Seems the names come from EOL, but they are from other species in the bulk list.

Just in case, I just added "Crotch Bumble Bee" to this species in EOL.

I was able to replicate the issue. Seems that when adding species that were not in the master list, then when clicking "Refresh Display", names appear as misaligned.

Maybe turn this button off while it is confirmed?

Nice catch, Luis! I think I've fixed this bug on the server -- let me know if you see it again!
