Hi @LunaSare!

It looks like it's a bug that comes from OpenTree of life rather than from rotl. If I call the API directly with your example, I get the same results:

$ 	curl -X POST https://api.opentreeoflife.org/v3/tnrs/match_names \
-H "content-type:application/json" -d \
'{"names":["Amphibians","Canis"], "do_approximate_matching":true}'

Output
