When I download a data set for my 1442 observations, a handful of the scientific names for trinomials (not the longest ones) are being truncated in the data.
Most of the scientific names for subspecies or varieties download fine, as complete unranked trinomials, example: Eucrypta chrysanthemifolia bipinnatifida.
But a few download as partial (truncated) ranked trinomials, examples: "Aquilegia coerulea va" for Aquilegia coerulea var. coerulea; "Artemisia tridentata subs" for Artemisia tridentata subsp. wyomingensis.
For the names with problems, it seems to happen with all observations for that name when there are multiples. So makes me think there is an issue with the taxon data and not with the download function per se.
If you want to replicate:
The download is initiated from the filters dialog at:
With the following changes to the default fields:
- turn OFF user_id, user_login, sound_url, description, id_please, oauth_application_id, private_positional_accuracy, positioning_method, species_guess
- turn ON taxon_class_name, taxon_order_name, taxon_family_name, taxon_genus_name, taxon_species_name, taxon_hybrid_name, taxon_subspecies_name, taxon_variety_name
The observations with problems show up as follows:

Easy to work around using the fields taxon_subspecies_name or taxon_variety_name, but thought you might want to check out the cause.
