Taxonomic Swap 107774 (Committed on 2022-03-23)

In accord with AOS-SACC (Proposal 781), change the scientific name of White-chested Emerald from Amazilia brevirostris to Chrysuronia brevirostris, based on genetic evidence (McGuire et al. 2014) that White-chested Emerald belongs to a disparate group of species for which the oldest available genus name is Chrysuronia (Stiles et al. 2017a, b).
