The American thick-knees have been found to comprise an ancient lineage basal to other burhinids (Černý and Natale 2022), and have thus been given a new genus name, Hesperoburhinus Černý et al., 2023. Thus, the Double-striped Thick-knee Burhinus bistriatus becomes Hesperoburhinus bistriatus and Peruvian Thick-knee Burhinus superciliaris becomes Hesperoburhinus superciliaris (https://www.museum.lsu.edu/~Remsen/SACCprop976.htm).

Unintended disagreements occur when a parent (B) is
thinned by swapping a child (E) to another part of the
taxonomic tree, resulting in existing IDs of the parent being interpreted
as disagreements with existing IDs of the swapped child.
Identification
ID 2 of taxon E will be an unintended disagreement with ID 1 of taxon B after the taxon swap
If thinning a parent results in more than 10 unintended disagreements, you
should split the parent after swapping the child to replace existing IDs
of the parent (B) with IDs that don't disagree.
