Description: Naturkunde Museum Berlin submitted various badly matched species for the Coleoptera genus Oreina:

Simple matching without classification:
http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/match?verbose=true&name=Oreina%20elegans
-> this does not yield a match as all fuzzy matched names are considered too distinant. You can see the neglected best matches in the alternatives section (which gets activated by using verbose=true)

If you provide the kingdm & family as in your case:
http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/match?verbose=true&name=Oreina%20elegans&kingdom=Animalia&family=Chrysomelidae
-> bad match to Okenia elegans (Mollusc)

If you provide the full hierarchy:
http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/match?verbose=true&name=Oreina%20elegans&kingdom=Animalia&phylum=Arthropoda&class=Insecta&order=Coleoptera&family=Chrysomelidae
-> it comes out with a bad match to Orfelia elegans (Diptera)

Both matches are really bad. Especially when I see that the correct genus is actually in our backbone:
http://www.gbif.org/species/search?q=Oreina&dataset_key=d7dddbf4-2cf0-4f39-9b2a-bb099caae36c&rank=GENUS

There are just 4 homonyms, 3 of which are insects. All use the name Oreina and the species Oreina elegans is missing entirely.
Matching just the genus works fine:

new lookup return the right genus now:
