I noticed that a whole range of GBIF keys have changed, e.g. for
Aglais io Argynnis pandora Argynnis paphia Melitaea athalia etc.
This is really horrifying. Changing keys is about the worst one can do to a database, apart from throwing it away.

Hey Adriaan -
Can you include the expected and actual ids for the names you mentioned?
I'd like to make sure that my cached GBIF ids are still valid.
thx,

From a list of about 300 lepidoptera, about 30 IDs had changed .....

I suggest to do a diff of your records and the result of https://www.gbif.org/tools/species-lookup.
