There are many names in this one. I will try to check them one by one:

"litt" (in literature) parsed as epithet:

I contacted PLAZI for all the names coming from their datasets (I am checking the boxes for contacted source).

@camiplata @DianRHR

The following names are from BOLD. I understand that BOLD, like NCBI, just accept any string a user submits as the "taxon". So even if I contact them, it is unlikely to have those names removed. We can't really exclude the BOLD BINs dataset either. Would it be possible to exclude just the names from the next backbone?

Genus B JS Ambystoma unisexual ljjj Ambystoma unisexual Jorunna tomentosa lineage A Phlebotomus kandelakii lato Phlebotomus major lato Phlebotomus perfiliewi lato
