GB,
Wouldn't ORIGINAL COMBINATION be best?

As a point of curiosity, is there any official terminology to restore a
species to its original combination?  I don't recall ever encountering
such, not that it's really needed.  A New Combination or New Status
designation doesn't seem appropriate (actually, it's an Old Combination/
Old Status), although I suppose you could argue for the latter.  It's
just not a very good alternative.
