Topic: Lepidoptera Dictionary Error

Got a matching error where the Lepidoptera checklist automatches a common name to a subspecies, not the species itself.  So far we've noticed this with the following:

Dark Green Fritillary - matches to Argynnis aglaja subsp. aglaja
Northern Brown Argus - matches to Aricia artaxerxes subsp. artaxerxes
Small Heath - matches to Coenonympha pamphilus pamphilus
Meadow Brown - matches to Maniola jurtina subsp. jurtina
Holly Blue - matches to Celastrina argiolis subsp. britanna

In addition to this Celastrian argiolis seems to be missing.  You can only match to a subspecies!  Any idea what the issue is?
