python molurus issue

[arlin]

The Jungle Book list has Python molurus, which is available in OT, but somehow never gets found.

Use OT web services directly to find out where the problem happens.

this is odd. OT webservice: http://phylo.cs.nmsu.edu:5004/phylotastic_ws/tnrs/ot/resolve?names=Python%20molurus

Matches to Python molurus:

{"status_code": 200, "resolvedNames": [{"match_type": "Exact", "resolver_name": "OT", "matched_name": "Python molurus", "search_string": "python molurus", "synonyms": ["Boa ordinata", "Python jamesonii", "Python molurus", "Python tigris", "Boa albicans", "Boa castanea", "Python trivittatus", "Boa orbiculata", "Boa cinerea", "Python molurus (Linnaeus, 1758)", "Molurus bivittatus", "Coluber molurus", "Coluber boaeformis", "Python bivittatus", "Python bora"], "taxon_id": 737826}]}

and the curl call to OT also finds it. I will look more into it

@arlin should we close this or look more into it?
