Bug - CoL - Forma and variety names missing in CoLDP exports #1203
Comments
@mjy, we're still missing some names with variety and forma ranks: Here's a cross-mapping of the CoL vs TaxonWorks synonyms for Antherophagus pallens (Linnaeus, 1758):
(I'll open/update other tickets on the last 3 rows.) There are a few names in the export that include

Could have been related to original combination issue. |
var. is invalid status in ICZN. Valid name could not be at the rank variety. It could be treated as a species or subspecies, if the rank is elevated and the name is treated as valid. If the name is a synonym of the species, the rank of the synonym is the same as the rank of valid name. When you export names of the synonyms, you should always get the original combination of the name, and not the current placement, which is always corresponds the current placement and rank of the valid name. Synonyms should be always used in the original form only or in the form of subsequent combination. Not in the form of current name, which may not be present in any publication. |
Understood. The question is: The original combination should be rendered with 'var.'? |
Yes, In the browse nomenclature, it is rendered with "var." Esentially, you should try to replicate the CoLDP export to match the Browse nomenclature format. |
@mjy, we're getting closer. The matching lines between TW and CoL are in bold:
The binomials for the var. and f. synonyms are getting exported, but are missing the infraspecies marker and epithet, because the rank is set to species and the infraspeciesEpithet column is empty:

The rank is still set to species instead of f. and var., but it's otherwise correct. |
In the latest version, the trinomials are present but their rank is not set as forma or variety. It should be okay to just put https://data.catalogueoflife.org/dataset/2219/name/454316-e6f948ce19d9ba9861bb0193c660cf7f Observed

Describe the bug
Forma and variety ranks are missing in the CoLDP Name table exports. Subspecies are included so this seems to be a rank-specific issue.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Here's a grep of all of the names included in the above screen capture in the Antherophagus genus, which only includes genus and species ranks:
Expected behavior
There are forma and variety names in Cucujoidea Species File, and they should be included in the CoLDP Name table.
