Description of problem:

Step 1: Place photo in upload page

Step 2: Click the taxon box for cv suggestions

Step 3: CV gives the same photo for different genera

The photo isn’t in the taxon photos on the taxon page for either genera, and doing a quick search through the Diaphorus photos, it’s not even been ID’d as Diaphorus.

Photo in case anyone else wants to try it:

This is due to the same bug I reported here. If you go to the page for that photo, you can see that it is associated both with the active species Chrysotus spectabilis and the inactivated species Diaphorus spectabilis (the name was changed 6 years ago). The new feature, that matches the photos shown in suggestions with your uploaded photo, picked this photo from “Diaphorus spectabilis,” under the mistaken assumption that this picture represents a species of Diaphorus.
