Description: The nub lookup should do a fuzzy match and if its a very close match should return that with match type FUZZY.
But for some clear, fuzzy matches like the following the next higher genus is always matched instead:

1 char variation of Psilocybe semilanceata:
http://boma.gbif.org:8080/ws-nub/nub/?name=Psilocybe%20semilanciata
http://ecat-dev.gbif.org/search?q=Psilocybe+semi&rkey=1

1 char variations of puma concolor:
http://boma.gbif.org:8080/ws-nub/nub?name=puma%20concolors
http://boma.gbif.org:8080/ws-nub/nub?name=puma%20koncolor
http://ecat-dev.gbif.org/search?q=puma+concol&rkey=1

Maybe its related to species having various infraspecies?
