Describe the problem:
According to feedback received at GBIF helpdesk, the synonymization of Shastasaurus perrini and Californosaurus perrini has the names swapped, regarding the temporal sequence or their description:
the species was first described by John Campbell Merriam in 1902 with the protonym of Shastasaurus perrini: Shastasaurus perrini Merriam, 1902
the genus Californosaurus was described in 1934 by Oskar Kuhn, and at the same time
Shastasaurus perrini Merriam, 1902 recombined to Californosaurus perrini (Merriam, 1902)
we can read this comment:
Issues: Published earlier than parent name
In fact this species was first described by John Campbell Merriam on 1902 with the protonym of Shastasaurus perrini.
So you have to probably replace Shastasaurus perrini (Merriam, 1902) by Shastasaurus perrini Merriam, 1902
Next, on 1934, Oskar Kuhn created the Californosaurus genus and change the previous taxon to Californosaurus perrini (Merriam, 1902)
Then the issue dissepears...

Please have a look on the original paper wrote by Merriam to verify the protonym
