Most are probably considered Oncidium now, dating back to 2008. Rhynchostele was established in 1993 for a fairly small group split from Odontoglossum. Rst. bictoniensis is probably the most commonly seen Rhynchostele, and most commonly used in hybrids.
Don't worry about not keeping up with name changes. From my observations over 40+ years, several generations of orchid growers have to die off before people stop complaining about 'new' names. I knew people who still insisted all slipper orchids were Cyps nearly 100 years after Paphiopedilum was published.
