Genus Myiothlypis points to wrong parent

[GoogleCodeExporter]

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

• Changed state: Accepted

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

I had thought that this had been fixed, but checking today it seems that it has 
not (http://www.gbif.org/species/7341612). Am I looking in the wrong place?
Thanks.

You are looking at the right place. I am sorry to say we did not have time for 
fixing taxonomic issues lately. The goal is to deal with this by the end of 
march. Sorry
