[Taxacom] IRMNG update

[Tony Rees]

Hi Stephen and Doug,

IRMNG has a component of presently unreviewed genera (publication details
known but taxonomic status unresearched) which, sub-optimally, are
presently labelled "accepted" although they should say "unresolved" (the
Aphia system which supplies these flags does not presently support the
latter, although it should...) As a workaround for now, for such names I
presently add a comment "Validity: Name as supplied in source(s) stated in
"basis of record" without indication of present taxonomic status (i.e.
valid name, synonym or other)".

Thanks, Stephen, for the pointer to the current valid name of Aellopos
Muenster, 1836. I will make the necessary change in IRMNG.

Regards - Tony
