[Taxacom] ZooBank website

[Hans Henderickx]

Zoobank looks a nice and easy tool, but I did a few searches with odd 
results: Palaeospinobuthus cenozoicus (scorpion) does not have the right 
authors added,  Feaella leleupi (pseudoscorpion) cannot be found in the 
list.

I agree, great tool.
It seems, however, that several taxa of my favorite group (Diptera:
Chironomidae) have incorrect authors and dates, and in some cases the
authors names are even missing. Coincidence or children's disease? It
would be interesting to hear if you have the same experience with other
taxonomic groups.
