[Taxacom] Species-level homonyms - between/within codes

[Tony.Rees at csiro.au]

Thanks, Francisco - I have added it. Interestingly Erebus caprimulgus (current allocation of Noctua caprimulgus Fabricius, 1775) does not appear in LepIndex or the Catalogue of Life (which uses the latter) on account of being mistranscribed in LepIndex (as capriniulgus), see:

I have also been advised that Sherborn's Index Animalium most likely contains hundreds more such binomial homonyms if anyone can make the time to work through it to look for them...

Cheers - Tony
