acceptedNameUsageID points to non existing records #5

Open mdoering opened 9 years ago

mdoering commented 9 years ago

In the TPL file some names reference synonyms that don’t resolve to any other record in the file E.g. gcc-128592 Cotula wilhelminensis

mdoering commented 9 years ago

The record gcc-128592, Cotula wilhelminensis has an acceptedID gcc-125076 which resolves just fine to Leptinella wilhelminensis. Where does this problem show up?

MattBlissett commented 9 years ago

It appears only as an acceptedNameId in tpl.txt in this repository of 10000 names.

These are just the first 10.000 names, so a full referential integrity is not expected. The entire dataset does contain the id: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/457027/tpl2.zip
