Mauicetus parki in ot_1150 is currently in Actinopterygii, whereas cetacea is in Sarcopterygii.

I just noticed this issue; the taxon is hidden in the tree view but not in the taxonomy browser, see here: https://tree.opentreeoflife.org/taxonomy/browse?id=4942452 . The name is found in IRMNG and GBIF; the species was never misclassified in the IRMNG record, perhaps it was once in GBIF although it is all right there now.... (or maybe the error originated elsewhere). Just a comment in case something needs fixing in OTT.
