Stephen Stedman correctly pointed out that several names of our terns
also have changed. I thought those had been changed in a previous
supplement, but it is the 47th supplement that will finally [and
rightfully] split up the genus Sterna.

As a result, we now have ...

Onychoprion fuscata for Sooty Tern

Sternula antillarum for Least Tern

Gelochelidon nilotica for Gull-billed Tern

and 

Hydroprogne caspia for Caspian Tern
