Question about the taxon map and range boundaries

General

Can somebody tell me why New Zealand has a yellow boundary in the taxon range map?

There are no iNat observations and it does not occur in the iNat NZ checklist.
The Geomodel includes New Zealand, again in error.
Is it because of all the erroneous GBIF records? I hope not. Most of those are unfixable due to lack of resource to re-identify fungarium specimens in various collections.

it’s there, but when you look for it, you have to make sure you select the “any” option for occurrence status because it’s listed as “doubtful”.

OK thanks.
The ‘any’ of present/absent/any doesn’t immediately make sense to me, but now at least I know where to look.
