Taxonomy on BugGuide is stated incorrectly. Pérez-Hernández et. al. (2019) did not alter the rank of Neolycus, still a subgenus.
Lycostomus Motschulsky, 1861, is granted full status. However, insofar American species are concerned, historically all workers pointed out that the division is poorly defined. Prefer to keep anything in Lycus, therefore.
Neolycus (type: schoenherri Chevrolat, 1834) contains the more dilated species; Lycus arizonensis Green, 1949, and L. fuliginosus Gorham, 1880 may only figure as "Lycus (Lycus)" in Pérez-Hernández et. al., because they have never been combined previously with Neolycus.

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.
