Hello. The ant species Carebara longii Wheeler 1903 ( https://www.antwiki.org/wiki/Carebara_longii ) looks like it was the victim of an OCR transciption error in the GBIF backbone and is being interepreted as "Carabara langi":

Hi @UTIC-Curator, Carebara langi Wheeler, 1922 seems to be its own species: Wheeler, W. M. (1922): The ants collected by the American Museum Congo Expedition. Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History 45: 39-269 (see also https://www.antwiki.org/wiki/Carebara_langi)

However, I can see that Carebara longii is missing from GBIF/CoL. Thank you for reporting it.
