Amiiformes has only one extant species, wrongly contains a fossil #43

The synthetic tree here does not follow DeepFin, and is missing Lepisosteiformes (e.g. anything in genus Lepisosteus)

I need to modify the paleodb-via-gbif-only-means-extinct heuristic to also be activated by the case where the taxon also comes from IRMNG - because IRMNG imports paleodb. Re Lepisosteidae, it's inferred to be extinct - I gather that's incorrect (since it has an NCBI record). This will have to be patched.

Re Lepisosteidae: this has 7 extant species in 2 genera: http://www.fishbase.org/summary/FamilySummary.php?ID=34 (also see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gar)

As of OpenTree 11.4 this is correct, but OpenTree 12.3 wrongly includes yet another fossil bowfin, Amia media, which needs flagging as extinct. I have also flagged some newly introduced extinct Lepisosteidae species in 12.3 at https://github.com/OpenTreeOfLife/feedback/issues/455. Once these two extinct/extant issues are solved, this issue can be closed

closing because I closed #455
