Duplicate entries for accepted species that should be synonyms

While looking at earthworm species, I noticed that several species have two accepted entries with a slight difference in spelling, even though there is no way, that they are different and should most likely be synonyms.

For example: Dendrobaena mariupolenis Wyssotzky, 1898 --> accepted Dendrobaena mariupolensis --> accepted

Proctodrilus antipai (Michaelsen, 1891) --> accepted Proctodrilus antipae (Michaelsen, 1891) --> accepted

And in the case below, there is also only a slight difference in spelling, the author and year are the same. Yet, one of them is accepted as its own species, while the other one is a synonym for a different species:

Murchieona minuscula (Rosa, 1906) --> accepted Murchieona miniscula (Rosa, 1906) --> Synonym of Murchieona muldali (Omodeo, 1956)
