Thanks for the quick answer and sorry for the noise!

I actually remember knowing about this peculiarity. It was too long ago that I've worked with this.

You might want to document this behavior on the download page if it turns out I'm not the only one who got confused (twice now :).

Best regards,

Dear Raffael,

ColDP downloads use the NameUsage schema which collapses accepted taxa, synonyms and name into a single entity/file NameUsage.tsv:
https://github.com/CatalogueOfLife/coldp/blob/master/README.md#nameusage

You can identify synonyms by their status which is either "synonym" or "ambiguous synonym". For synonyms the parentID column points to the accepted name.

Thanks for asking,

Markus
