Thanks for your contribution. I guess that these errors have been automatically detected, as the corrections do not seem to provide any explanations.

Starting to go through this, I see that these corrections are not acceptable as is. For example, three of the first four are not simple typos:

• Protea mellifera=Protea repens
  • Not a typo but these are synonyms source
• Phthirius pubis=Pthirus pubis
  • This is an old spelling but not incorrect source
• Odocoileus Virginianus=Odocoileus virginianus
  • I have a list of incorrectly capitalised taxon names that I plan to fix
• Ameiurus Melas=Ameiurus nebulosus
  • No, these are two distinct species, the "black bullhead" and the "brown bullhead"

These are still useful as there are many genuine errors but there is substantial manual effort that will need to be done to go through all of these.

Generally the word on the right is the replacement I chose to make to make more correct (some are indeed updates, not corrections - you may want to make other choices).
I think Ameiurus nebulosus was because the synset is for horned pout, which according to Wikipedia is that name. But yes, non-trivial work to properly sort out since brown bullhead is also a separate sense in WordNet.
