Thanks a lot for your explanations, this makes things far clearer. In fact, this was not an issue for me to have a title that disagrees with the CID when considering taxonomic levels higer than species level and the last ID is at the lowest level, as in the crab example. What I found confusing (but now clearer thanks to your explanations) is when this deals only with species and subspecies levels, as this adds the question of the label RG vs. needs ID into play. But I guess that it should be quite hard to have a system able to consitently manage all the possibilities of successive agreeing, disagreeing, withdrawing, etc. My example of obs on Lestes virens is probably a rather special case. In the future I will think about the “restore” function if I have to face a similar case (ideally the system may perform an automatic “restore” if somebody (in particular the obs’s author) re-suggests the same ID after having withdrawn it, but I guess this may also introduce some unwanted side effects depending on the context)
