Description: This record is showing as Panthera Oken instead of Panthera pardus. The verbatim data contain Panthera pardus ssp. in the scientificName. higherClassication, does show Animalia Chordata Mammalia Carnivora Felidae Panthera pardus instead of stopping at Felidae like other records from MVZ Mammals. Recommendations for fixing on both ends?

Parsed correctly: http://api.gbif.org/v1/parser/name?name=Panthera%20pardus%20ssp.
The undetermined subspecies matches to the genus as the occurrence record shows: http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/match?name=Panthera%20pardus%20ssp.
The species exists though and matching just the species name alone works fine:

http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/match?name=Panthera%20pardus
[~larussell] as a quick fix having just the species name and removing the indet. part should fix the problem. We'll keep this issue open to see why the backbone matching fails to match to the species in case of the ssp.

[~larussell] this is fixed with the new backbone matching service and it hits the species now: http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/match?name=Panthera%20pardus%20ssp
