The genus of the Wilson’s Bird-of-Paradise Cicinnurus respublica and Magnificent Bird-of-Paradise Cicinnurus magnificus is changed to Diphyllodes, as Diphyllodes respublica and Diphyllodes magnificus. This is based on the moderately deep genetic divergence of Diphyllodes from Cicinnurus (Irestedt et al. 2009)and the numerous plumage differences from the King Bird-of-Paradise Cicinnurus regius that they exhibit.

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.
