Description of problem
The Anacanthobatidae is a family with no observations, likely because is composed by deep sea skates, therefore the genus within have no observations, but Total Species Observed mentions 7 of 14, with 63 Total Observations, when clicking the 63 Observations these are from skate in other family

but this is also not accurate at all, for example raja montagui have around 400 observations, and above shows 5 observations

what is happening¡??

Looks like an indexing bug from a taxon or ancestry change. Inactivating and reactivating should fix it, but you’d have to inactivate all children first. I would start with just the species showing up in your last screenshot and see if that fixes it.

This appears resolved by the suggested reindexing.
