Almost all these duplicates are due to a difference in authorship. It seems like in many cases (WORMS and ITIS) the issue were solved since the latest backbone taxonomy (at least I cannot find them in the upcoming version). I reported the other issues to the sources. Hopefully, we won't see these duplicates in the next version.
