You can reidentify an occurrence, check for homonyms and/or choose between them (Reclassify), or change the reference associated with an occurrence or reidentification. If a name includes 'n. sp.' or similar modifier, and if the type locality for the name is not this collection, you can set it to this collection. Use the button to mark an occurrence or reidentification for deletion when you click the Save Occurrences button.	Accepted Name This column displays the accepted version of the taxon name according to the opinions entered in the database.
