This is an indexing issue, and this specific situation has already been reported. See this report:

Thanks Thomas,
I read the linked thread, but wondering if there is something I can do, to help fix the problem.

I didn’t get Psalidognathus modestus in the results, but I got these other Cerambycidae at the bottom of the page:

The only solution I’ve found is to “refresh” each taxon, which requires a curator and isn’t really worth all the effort.

Presumably because I refreshed it so it got reindexed.
