[API-users] Canonical name of subgenus and species under a subgenus

[Nozomi James Ytow]

Hi, 

A verbatim record of a sugenus
http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/100969508/verbatim
results in a name usage record
http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/100969508
where genus name, instead of subgenus name, treated
as the canonical name.

I suspect it is issue at the data sorurce, because Ficus (Diconoficus)
is the generic part of species name under the subgenus such as
Ficus (Diconoficus) gayana but never a subgenus name itself.
Looking at species record under the subgenus, however, e.g. 
http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/100969511/verbatim
http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/100969511
gives Ficus gayana as the canonical name.
This interpretation, i.e. omitting subgenus part from a canonical name,
might be issue of data parsing.

Or, is it an extpected client task to check verbatim records also?

Regards,
James
