The Taxon.tsv entries in the attached file are in kingdom Animalia or Plantae, have a valid rank and are "accepted". The problems here are either that

(a) the names are homonyms across Animalia and Plantae, and have been incorrectly flagged as possible variants

Example: 5386762 | 7ddf754f-d193-4cc9-b351-99906754a03b | 7764312 | | 3092239 | Acmella pusilla (Hook. & Arn.) R.K.Jansen | (Hook. & Arn.) R.K.Jansen | Acmella pusilla | Acmella | pusilla | | species | | Jansen, R. K. (1985). In: Syst. Acmella (Asterac.-Heliantheae) (Syst. Bot. Monog. 8): 46. | accepted | | Possible variant of Acmella pusilla Quadras & Möllendorff, 1895 | Plantae | Tracheophyta | Magnoliopsida | Asterales | Asteraceae | Acmella 8785162 | 7ddf754f-d193-4cc9-b351-99906754a03b | 3244746 | | | Acmella pusilla Quadras & Möllendorff, 1895 | Quadras & Möllendorff, 1895 | Acmella pusilla | Acmella | pusilla | | species | | Quadras, J. F. & Möllendorff, O. F. von. (1895). Diagnoses specierum novarum ex insulis Philippinis. Nachrichtsblatt Der Deutschen Malakozoologischen Gesellschaft, 27(5/6): 73–88, (7/8): 105–121, (9/10): 137–149. https://www.molluscabase.org/aphia.php?p=sourcedetails&id=336622 | accepted | | | Animalia | Mollusca | Gastropoda | Littorinimorpha | Assimineidae | Acmella

(b) or the one name in one kingdom has been duplicated incorrectly in the other kingdom

Example: 8316886 | 7ddf754f-d193-4cc9-b351-99906754a03b | 7993531 | | | Aliceathrips engaius Mound, 2011 | Mound, 2011 | Aliceathrips engaius | Aliceathrips | engaius | | species | | | accepted | | | Animalia | Arthropoda | Insecta | Thysanoptera | Thripidae | Aliceathrips 8509280 | dbb812a3-60dd-4f6f-bb48-9e2ce120221a | 8557139 | | | Aliceathrips engaius | | Aliceathrips engaius | Aliceathrips | engaius | | species | | Mound, Laurence A. (2011): Grass-dependent Thysanoptera of the family Thripidae from Australia.
