Porpax extinctoria, Synonym or accepted name?

The gbif backbone states Porpax extinctoria (Lindl.) Schuit., Y.P.Ng & H.A.Pedersen is a synonym of Conchidium extinctorium. The source of this entry is WCVP, but on visit of the source it does accept the name Porpax extinctoria. Could you update this entry, please? Or if I am missing something please explain the reasoning behind the entry. Thank you

You are correct @Squitoense, Porpax extinctoria (Lindl.) Schuit., Y.P.Ng & H.A.Pedersen should be the accepted name (https://www.catalogueoflife.org/data/taxon/8X3VR). I am not sure why this isn't currently the case in the GBIF backbone. @mdoering any idea?

In the COL 21.11 edition the name did not exist. It only appeared this April: https://www.checklistbank.org/nameusage/search?content=SCIENTIFIC_NAME&limit=50&q=Porpax%20extinctoria&rank=species&sortBy=taxonomic&type=EXACT

It therefore entered via WCVP. Initially as an accepted name. The basionym grouping then decided Conchidium extinctorium (Lindl.) Y.P.Ng & P.J.Cribb and Porpax extinctoria are based on the same basionym (same epithet, family and basionym author) and therefore put the name from a list of lesser priority (Porpax extinctoria) in synonymy.

I have excluded that epithet from the basionym grouping in nub configs.
