Calcochloris obtusirostris

Ok. The problem here is that SIS doesn't standardise the formatting of author names. So for example,

Bronner, G.N.  Jewitt, D., Goodman, P.S., Erasmus, B.F.N., O’Connor, T.G. and Witkowski, E.T.F. Bronner GN Ellerman JR, Morrison-Scott TCS, Hayman RW.

The top two rows take the format: Surname, I.N.I.T.I.A.L.S, Nextsurname, A.B., etc Whereas the bottom two take this format: Surname INITIALS, Nextsurname initials, ??

This really should be standardised.

Ok I think I've done something to fix this now, @Dewidine please check when the next upload happens and also let SIS know their reference formatting is inconsistent.

@rukayaj Some books do not have authors, will discuss.

This is for Calcochloris obtusirostris. See the one on the left is the new import and it has authors, whereas the one on the right is the live site and does not have authors. So in other words with the next content update Fhatani does this should be fixed, reopen this issue if it's not.
