Two are 'barren, sibling_higher' and one is 'major_rank_conflict', and I thought those got pruned.

In case it helps, IRMNG has: Xenopus Penzig & P.A. Saccardo, 1901 -- (fungus, accepted genus, = OTT "Xenopus in Nucletmycea") Xenopus Roelofs, 1875 accepted as Ixalma Pascoe, 1871 -- (Coleoptera, synonym, = OTT "Xenopus in Protostomia") Xenopus Wagler, 1827 -- (Amphibia, accepted genus, = OTT "Xenopus in Deuterostomia")
