Taxonomic Swap 132851 (Committed on 2023-10-29)

The relationships of the Black Butcherbird Cracticus quoyi with other Cracticus are not clear, with apparent paraphyly with the dissimilar Gymnorhina tibicen (Kearns et al. 2013, Cake et al. 2018), hence it is now placed in the monotypic genus Melloria as Melloria quoyi.
