-----
A bunch of bird species in the genus "Basileuterus" in the family Parulidae (Aves) were recently moved to a new genus "Myiothlypis". In GBIF, Myiothlypis currently points to the order Passeriformes as a parent, instead of the correct family Parulidae as the parent.

The latest version of IOC world bird names got the updated genus:

We will try to use IOC as the bird reference and override catalogue of life
Unfortunately the IOC record lacks the old name as a synonym. Its gonna be hard to teach the backbone to not have both names included as accepted taxa. For example http://ecat-dev.gbif.org/usage/111292740
