Why was this swap done? It is in disagreement with BOA, the agreed source for neotropical butterflies.

It's as Cithaerias bandusia Staudinger STAT. REV., in Penz 2021, "Revised species definitions and nomenclature of the blue and purple/rose Cithaerias butterflies " Zootaxa. So there, it is treated as (i.e. restored as) a valid species. That study is a detailed taxonomic study on that subgroup of the genus. I know it disagrees with BoA, which indeed i've looked at before making this and other actions - but for every taxon with an "agreed source" there are always some deviations. I do not see it as essential (nor desirable) to follow explicitly. Plus here, i considered it's a taxon with only a tiny handful of observations so whether was a species or a subspecies is not of great consequence for system or users.
