I know neither the referees nor the editors in any of these cases*, but I 
think you misunderstood them: you made grandiose new claims on the 
interpretation of specimens that you hadn't seen, and this understandably 
leads to rejection. If you had merely used the descriptions as-is to make 
your data matrices, nobody would have used that as grounds for rejection.

* Well, in one case I do know one of the referees, but I've never seen his 
review, and he hasn't told me about anything other than his disapproval for 
the reasons I had already previously mentioned here on this list years ago.
