dropped

So this name is not synonymous with anything? A complete nomen dubium?

This name only refers to a skeleton shrimp.

There is a copy of this dropped entry in the new taxonomy tree... I Took a bad segment of taxonomy and created a full one. See

Let me know if I did this in an incorrect way. I know of another taxonomy tree that is incomplete/wrong that needs fixing.

I don't think anything needs fixing since http://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/492621-Pseudoprotella-phasma wasn't associated with anything. However, what I would have done was create a taxon swap from http://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/492621-Pseudoprotella-phasma to http://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/493940-Pseudoprotella-phasma. That way any records associated with http://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/492621-Pseudoprotella-phasma would be moved over to the new taxon instead of just being left in limbo. Since these seems like exact synonyms with exactly the same name, I might have even used to merge tool to delete the duplicate name.
