Elphinstonia should not be elevated to genus level, especially given that it shows no autapomorphies respective to Euchloe s.s. and should best be within a wider concept of Euchloe. This has been adressed in the bibliography using genetic data and currently unpublished genomic data supports this definition.

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.
