Description: The authorship for the genus Xestocephalus http://www.gbif.org/species/2035590 is incorrect. GBIF lists it as "Baker, 1915" but it should be "Van Duzee, 1892, see http://iphylo.org/~rpage/nz/index.php?mode=genus&q=Xestocephalus and http://biostor.org/reference/161024/page/4

[~mdoering] It's a bit puzzling because none of the source checklists on the page http://www.gbif.org/species/2035590 give the authorship as "Baker, 1915" (they either don't say, or give "Van Duzee, 1892") and the citation "Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc. , 19, 298" is correct.]]>

I believe this must have been in some old CoL or IRMNG version. The data is 3-4 years old at least.
In the latest backbone preview it shows up without authorship just as it is coming from the CoL:
