Alpine Swift Apus melba and Mottled Swift Apus aequatorialis are now placed in the genus Tachymarptis, as Tachymarptis melba and Tachymarptis aequatorialis respectively, based on morphological and feather louse differences (Brooke 1970, 1972) and phylogenetic data (Päckert et al. 2012), and now aligning with e.g., Gill and Wright (2006, IOC v.1.0).

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.
