TW overrides synonymies with the most recent [was: missing syntype of Bolotettix exiguus] #23

Open klausriede opened 9 months ago

klausriede commented 9 months ago

The DORSA Series in the pictures shows inter alia syntype of Bolotettix exiguus from DEI (SDEI in old OSF). Providence of pictures is not clear. Syntype is not mentioned in list

Just for context, is https://sfg-taxonpages.github.io/orthoptera/#/otus/808870/overview what you are talking about?

Remember to paste links whenever you can please.

I think we agree that for comparison of specimens based on their photos the current TP version is next to useless. As next step an additional tab for type specimens (or all specimens) needs to be developed.

Anyway, this is not a migration issue. We are thinking to share this GitHub section with the other species file curators. So the issues need an informative and general title, and similar problems should be dealt with in a single issue.

TW followed Blackith1992 and has Bolotettix exiguus as synonym of Paratettix histricus (Pseudoparatettix histricus in Blackith 1992) instead of Pseudoparatettix lineatus as proposed earlier by Günther 1939. I will verify this.

This citation at B. exiguus migrated incorrectly (above old OSF, below in TW):

... editing ... I fixed a few things and submitted a question over there on how to move exiguus back to lineatus: https://github.com/SpeciesFileGroup/taxonworks/issues/3564

@klausriede You detected an important migration problem after all. And I'm not entirely happy with its solution, although B. exiguus now is back under Pseudoparatettix lineatus along with its pictures (issue 3564 of previous comment).

The question is: in how many cases TW did override older but recognized synonymies by more recent but doubtful ones (dismissed in old OSF).

the new tab of specimen records is displaying in order all the information and images of type specimens

The serious issue that TW reallocated synonyms under different valid names persists. This can be based on missing citations for synonym relationships or synonym relationships that did not migrate appropriately. I came across various cases and the actual number is unknown.

typophyllum commented 7 months ago

There the last citation did not migrate and TW made nanus a synonym of A. c. coloradus (just fixed).
