Taxonomic Swap 107855 (Committed on 2022-03-24)

In accord with AOS-SACC (Proposals 780 and 781) and AOS-NACC (Chesser et al. 2020b), the sequence of hummingbirds in the group previously listed between Chlorostilbon and Hylocharis is revised, based primarily on McGuire et al. (2014) and Hernández-Baños et al. (2020). In accord with AOS-NACC (Chesser et al. 2020b), change the scientific name of Violet-crowned Hummingbird from Amazilia violiceps to Leucolia violiceps (Stiles et al. 2017a, b), based on genetic evidence that the traditional genus Amazilia is not monophyletic (McGuire et al. 2014).
