Incorrect Synonym: Adelpha californica -> Limenitis bredowii subsp. californica #160

Open mihow opened 1 year ago

The species Adelpha californica (taxon 5714313) is incorrectly mapped as a synonym of Limenitis bredowii subsp. californica (taxon 6225997).

Their images and distributions are therefore combined when retrieving data for Limenitis bredowii (taxon 5132079)

This may be part of https://github.com/gbif/checklistbank/issues/106 but there were also some historical changes that may be causing confusion. Adelpha californica and Adelpha bredowii were once named Limenitis californica and Limenitis bredowii. But one of them is using the old name in GBIF, and one is using the new name.
