Please see the statement under remarks on the IPNI page for this taxon. According to the quoted ICN Article it is iNaturalist, and Wikipedia, that is wrong not POWO.

I see, thanks. We would then need a proposal to deviate unless we are to follow POWO.

In this case we should follow POWO as we are using the same taxon concept. However, unless we can discover the creator of the name on iNaturalist, and have them correct the spelling, we will need to implement a taxon swap. Somebody should also edit the Wikipedia entry.

I think it was automatically imported from an external name provider, in which case we'd need to do a taxon swap. In the meantime I have added the note to Wikipedia.

Okay, are you going to do the swap as well, or should I?

Done, thanks.
