Duplicate record for ciliate genus Anteholosticha wrongly classified as Animalia

The ciliate genus Anteholosticha appears twice in the backbone taxonomy under IDs 4896524 and 8167254.

The record under taxonID 4896524 is sourced from the World Ciliate Catalog dataset (https://www.gbif.org/dataset/da935f03-204e-42fa-972a-23f60ca1b331), but is wrongly classified under "Animalia" without family or other intervening ranks.

taxonID 4896524 and its child taxon Anteholosticha paramanca (taxonID 8860673) should probably be merged into taxonID 8167254. A. paramanca is a ciliate, and to my knowledge there is no homonym for this taxon name.

Reference for Anteholosticha being a ciliate: https://doi.org/10.1078/0932-4739-00006

The source of Anteholosticha in the backbone seems to be ZooBank (not the World Ciliate Catalog). This is probably why this genus is classified under Animalia. https://www.gbif.org/species/4896524 https://www.checklistbank.org/dataset/53147/taxon/4896524 https://zoobank.org/NomenclaturalActs/c9c1dd13-e8a5-4ac5-a49d-883c35131912

That's strange, because there is another Zoobank entry for Anteholosticha which is associated with the publication and author: https://zoobank.org/NomenclaturalActs/8DC3ADA5-2D5B-4DCF-9615-84855B4EDBD4

The other record linked above (c9c1dd13-e8a5-4ac5-a49d-883c35131912) has empty authorship and publication fields.

c9c1dd13-e8a5-4ac5-a49d-883c35131912 is listed before 8dc3ada5-2d5b-4dcf-9615-84855b4edbd4 in the ZooBank DwC-A, (it might be not related but just adding a comment here)
