@greene I am glad I was able to answer your initial question.
I am sorry the answer created so many new questions, or in the vernacular: sorry for giving you a whole new can of worms.
I was not suggesting that things be changed, just offering up what would have to be corrected to stay in line with current taxonomic nomenclature.
When I was in school we were taught about the classification of plants and animals.
Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus Species. There was even a phrase to help remember them :
Keep Paying Casey Off For Great Sales
Now you have Subkingdoms, Infrakingdoms, divisions, subdivisions...
I found this note at the bottom of a site (

NOTE: Because science is constantly expanding our knowledge of living things, the precise details of how organisms are classified in the Linnaean system are frequently in flux. This is not due to confusion but rather to the evolution of our understanding brought about by new discoveries ...
Sounds good, but while it may not be due to confusion, it certainly does cause confusion.
