What to do with nub synonyms with unknown accepted? #86

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
There are synonyms in the nub that have an unknown accepted name. For example 
Leptura nigrella Craighead, 1923 is a synonym coming from IRMNG with no 
accepted name. 
http://ecat-dev.gbif.org/usage/100649767

Right now all those synonyms are linked to the Incertae Sedis kingdom - do we 
want this?
Should we better ignore all those names?
Or create new placeholder usages for each unknown accepted?

why dont we treat unattached synonyms as basically a provisional 'accepted 
name' in the sense that it's hung from the nub hierarchy as a terminal 'taxon'

good idea.
We can assign the "Doubtful" accepted status to such names and link them into 
the hierarchy.
Will implement this approach

Fixed in r4801  according to above approach.
See NubGenerratorIT integration test, section starting with 

    // CHECKLIST 122 tests - incertae sedis synonym
