[https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/the-unknowns-of-the-world](https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/the-unknowns-of-the-world) is an umbrella project that only includes the USA and the UK, so it doesn’t show all the taxa with this issue. Here’s a world-wide collection project that finds more: [https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/unknowns-of-the-world?tab=species](https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/unknowns-of-the-world?tab=species). I see 11 problematic species right now. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/inaturalist/original/3X/c/4/c49d99f89d4a92d4ef14e15bd03d335e04bfb360.jpeg) edit: randomly flipping some DQA flags on and off or adding annotations seems to fix it. edit II: There were also some species that weren’t attached to a genus. Those need attention from a curator. E.g.
