Name change by data provider renders occurrences inaccessible

[jcoliver]

Approximately 150 records of what were classified on GBIF as Papilio machaon subsp. oregonia are now classified as Papilio bairdii oregonia. I think this was triggered by a taxon change from the dataset provider, iNaturalist. Importantly, before this change, the records were accessible through the API on the taxon search for "papilio machaon". They are no longer accessible through a species name search, as P. bairdii oregonia does not appear to actually be in the GBIF taxonomy (the Species name matching tool says this entity only accepted at the genus status). I don't have a preference for P. machaon or P. bairdii, but I would like some way to programmatically download (i.e. not through the web GUI) those ~150 records.

Example occurrence of P. m. oregonius: https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/1457666345 Example occurrence of P. b. oregonia: https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/3112764303

Thanks @jcoliver we will investigate. In the meanwhile, you can query the occurrence on the scientific name provided by the data provider (not the one interpreted by GBIF) by using verbatimScientificName. For example: https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?advanced=1&verbatim_scientific_name=Papilio%20bairdii%20oregonia&occurrence_status=present or https://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/search?verbatimScientificName=Papilio%20bairdii%20oregonia
