If I am understanding correctly, this is something that is done often for groups that are difficult to identify and often misidentified, such as these. Those are a major issue because the computer vision takes observations that have been identified to species (often when they shouldn’t have been) and suggests the species for other observations, leading more people to thinking that they’re identifiable. Eupeodes americanus is an example that I mentioned above. Generally the process is the same; make a disagreeing ID to push it back to genus (or whatever is appropriate) and include a comment explaining that the species options are indistinguishable.
