Taxonomic Swap 133289 (Committed on 30-10-2023)

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.
