Description
When building the nub using just the Mantodea checklist we yield more synonymised recombinations of basionyms as in the original, even though it is a very well curated experts dataset with basionym information:

SOURCE Mantodea: Hymenopodidae [family] Galinthias meruensis Sjostedt, 1909 [species] *Galinthias usambarica Sjostedt, 1909 [species] Oxypiloidea (Catasigerpes) nigericus (Giglio-Tos, 1915) [species] Oxypilus (Anoxypilus) meruensis (Sjostedt, 1909) [species] *Oxypilus (Anoxypilus) nigericus (Beier, 1930) [species] Pseudoharpax nigericus Giglio-Tos, 1915 [species] NUB: Hymenopodidae [family] $Galinthias meruensis Sjostedt, 1909 [species] *Galinthias usambarica Sjostedt, 1909 [species] *Oxypilus meruensis (Sjostedt, 1909) [species] *Oxypilus nigericus (Beier, 1930) [species] $Pseudoharpax nigericus Giglio-Tos, 1915 [species] *Oxypiloidea nigericus (Giglio-Tos, 1915) [species]
Investigate whether this additional nub grouping could actually be correct or clearly is an error. If it is an error we need to think about how to avoid them. Currently we detect basionyms within a family which might be too eager

Roderic D. M. Page do you have any more insight into this case maybe? I cannot find much information apart from the Mantodeo Species Files which treat Oxypilus (Anoxypilus) meruensis (Sjostedt, 1909) and Galinthias meruensis Sjostedt, 1909 as 2 distinct taxa:
http://mantodea.speciesfile.org/Common/basic/Taxa.aspx?TaxonNameID=1182721
http://mantodea.speciesfile.org/Common/basic/Taxa.aspx?TaxonNameID=1182837
From the names alone it seems very likely that Oxypilus meruensis is a recombination based on the same type. Both genera Oxypilus and Galinthias predate the original species description
