In accord with AOS-NACC (Chesser et al. 2020b), change the scientific name of Xantus's Hummingbird from Hylocharis xantusii to Basilinna xantusii (Stiles et al. 2017a, b), based on genetic evidence that the traditional genus Hylocharis is not monophyletic (McGuire et al. 2014, Hernández-Baños et al. 2020).

@michiganhummingbirdguy I just copied and pasted the text provided by the Clements Checklist. I don't know where to actually look for literature besides scrolling through Google Scholar.
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.
Can hyperlinks be provided to the direct literature for these? That is in this case McGuire et al. 2014, Hernández-Baños et al. 2020?
