regular binomials parsed as bacterial candidate names #3

Closed mdoering closed 7 years ago

These names are no bacterial candidate names, try to distinguish them. Alternatively we need to check the name type outside the parser when we know the kingdom. Make sure the name is parsed correctly into its parts.

Centropogon candidatus Lammers Plantae Dicotyledonae Campanulales Campanulaceae

Parathalassius candidatus Melander Arthropoda Insecta Diptera Empididae

This is: Candidatus Protochlamydia amoebophila Collingro et al., 2005 Bacteria Parachlamydiaceae

And this is a badly formed regular binomial which should not have Candidatus in front (probably ok so flag that as candidate name): Candidatus Ceratopogon niveipennis Winnertz, 1852 Insecta Diptera Ceratopogonidae
