About the reassessment of the classification of the specified species.

For URL https://www.gbif.org/species/4535529: The family for the type appears to be incorrectly defined. Brintesia circe (Great Banded Grayling) is included in the Lycaenidae family, while it should belong to the Nymphalidae family. I request you to reconsider the classification of this species. Thanks.

The classification seems to be correct at the source. The problem is that Brintesia circe (Fabricius, 1775) is a synonym of Loweia tityrus (Poda, 1761) in the backbone. And the classification of Brintesia is now replaced by the one from Loweia.

I think they shouldn't be synonyms. But it seems like Papilio circe (Denis & Schiffermüller) 1776 (which is an actual synonym of Loweia tityrus (Poda, 1761)) was synonymized with Brintesia circe (Fabricius, 1775) during the backbone building: https://www.gbif.org/species/11009705
