At least there are 2 Pieris genera existing:
id | constituent_key | source_taxon_key | status | rank | scientific_name
---------+--------------------------------------+------------------+----------+-------+----------------------
7236092 | d8fb1600-d636-4b35-aa0d-d4f292c1b424 | 137278086 | ACCEPTED | GENUS | Pieris Schrank, 1801
1920481 | 2d59e5db-57ad-41ff-97d6-11f5fb264527 | 173217851 | DOUBTFUL | GENUS | Pieris Hübner, 1819
Both exist like that already: https://www.gbif.org/species/7236092 https://www.gbif.org/species/1920481
But I would have expected the species to be included in the accepted genus 7236092, not the doubtful one! This is exciting. The 2 genera above are both Lepidoptera, but there is also a plant genus: 2d59e5db
COL does not include any authorship for the butterfly genus, so the first dataset with an accepted genus and author defines the authorship used for the butterfly genus Pieris. This happens to be WoRMS: https://www.gbif.org/species/181182919
And WoRMS appears to accept the newer author Hübner. IRMNG, which was our previous source for this genus, lists all genera as accepted so our previous build probably picked one of them randomly: https://www.gbif.org/species/search?q=Pieris&rank=GENUS&dataset_key=0938172b-2086-439c-a1dd-c21cb0109ed5&qField=SCIENTIFIC&advanced=1
I would think it is fine to have the genus change from Schrank to Hübner, but cannot really judge it all.
Is it OK that the genus key changes as the only thing?
