Curiously in the interim they dropped Phytophthora austrocedrae as a synonym, but added Phytophthora sp. austrocedrae as an includes - both on the website and in the Feb dump:
$ grep 'Phytophthora .*austrocedr*' taxdmp_2024-02-01/names.dmp
631361 | Phytophthora austrocedri Gresl. & E.M. Hansen 2007 | | synonym |
631361 | Phytophthora austrocedri | | scientific name |
631361 | Phytophthora sp. austrocedrae | | includes |
Until recently and as of the taxdump_2024-01-01 files the NCBI had this species as Phytophthora austrocedrae with Phytophthora austrocedri as a synonym:
We've had a workaround in https://github.com/peterjc/thapbi-pict/blob/master/database/build_ITS1_DB.sh made in d4b0105a6f9a02e130fe1c0dee971abab12f1e5c and 4db494f77a0303854904d7d33ff9dbae3d09b1f5 (5 years ago) to flip this, with the comment:
Checking today, the NCBI taxonomy https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?id=631361 now has species Phytophthora austrocedri with Phytophthora austrocedrae as a synonym.
So, once we update to the 2024-02-01 taxonomy (next release), we should be able to drop our workaround.
