Colmanara is Miltonia x Odontoglossum X Oncidium and that never changes (at least I never read anything that would lead me to think that being changeable).
What changes, too frequently, is the name of the species that forms the hybrid.
The above, now called, Oncidium Debutante is a cross between Oncidium fuscatum and Oncidium cariniferum.
In this case, I think the changes were, from the original names of the species that formed the hybrid:
Miltonia warscewiczii -> Oncidium fuscatum
Odontoglossum cariniferum -> Oncidium cariniferum
and Oncidium maculatum remained the same
Perhaps you think that because Colmanara Wildcat changed to Odontocidium Wildcat?
(it was because of the name Miltonia warscewiczii -> Oncidium fuscatum as well)
But, for example, there are some people that say that the names should be:
Miltonia warscewiczii -> Miltonioides warscewiczii
Odontoglossum cariniferum -> Miltonioides carinifera
So, enjoy the show and relax
Things will probably change again
I do hope this message is somewhat understandable
