Summary: incertae sedis should be Incertae sedis in nub
Description: Please correct [i]ncertae sedis to [I]ncertae sedis for the nub representation. Seeing it on the kingdom, but all instances I believe should be sentence case.

What is the reason for a capital Insertis? Because its the start of a "sentence"? The pure latin expression uses smaller letters only and as far as I can tell in classic taxonomic literature it is in lower case too.

Also I like the fact that it does not look like a species name and is therefore harder to (auto)interpret wrongly.
The zoological code glossary has it in lower case:

This german page has it in lower case:

I can t find any use of it in CoL

Comment: Only cosmetic really and consistency with how we show other names.

Comment: I still think it would be better to stick with the smaller letters as it is not a regular name
