Marionina preclitellochaeta not accepted as species

It seems that the Taxonomic backbone does not accept species concept Marionina preclitellochaeta which is an accepted species according to Worms. https://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=137467

Marionina preclitellochaeta Nielsen & Christensen, 1963 is in the backbone taxonomy: https://www.gbif.org/species/2308292

But the occurrences that don't match have a different spelling Marionina praeclitellochaeta which is why it gets matched to a higher rank: https://api.gbif.org/v1/species/match?verbose=true&name=Marionina%20praeclitellochaeta

This is a data content issue.

@jeroencreuwels I just realised that you logged the original issue. Are you in touch with the data publishers? If you think they meant to use the scientific name Marionina preclitellochaeta, perhaps it is worth changing the name in the data?

Thanks Marie, for pointing me to the right spelling! I'll contact the data owners and we'll fix it in the dataset
