Stilbum splendidum interpreted as Fungi even though it is an Insecta (Hymenoptera) #545

A GBIF user has notified helpdesk of an error in GBIF's backbone taxonomy where Hymenoptera occurrences are wrongly interpreted to Fungi. This is probably due to the Stilbum genus being present in both Fungi and Hymenoptera. COL does not currently have the the Hymenoptera species in the checklist but the xRelease does have the species in the checklist, so the issue will be fixed once the xRelease substitutes GBIF's taxonomic backbone.

Stilbum splendidum being a Fungi is a mistake which comes from a PLAZI checklist: https://www.gbif.org/dataset/051394d3-767e-414f-b131-c84675a7a27f. The original publication where Stilbum splendidum is cited actually states that it is a Hymenoptera: https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.486.8753

I think this is a issue with the automated interpretation on PLAZI's side

// json for auto-checking { "name": "Stilbum splendidum", "wrongGroup": "Fungi", "rightGroup": "Hymenoptera" } why is this here?
