this isn't very helpful:
http://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Agalba_lawrencei
http://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Agalba_storeyi
at least my Wikispecies pages clearly indicate that they are unpublished names
they will probably never be published as the types were probably labelled as such before Muona realised that Arisocephalus was a synonym of Agalba, so these species probably already have names
perhaps GBIF should ask its data providers to verify that the names have been published???
