How would you expect to find a subgenus, which in the term subgenus
is combined with its genus for disambiguating homonymies, when you
cite it as part of the higherClassification? Do you cite it as you
do in the term for subgenus or "naked"?
Aphis (Aphis) glycines
<dwc:higherClassification>Animalia;Arthropoda;Insecta;Hemiptera;Sternorr
hyncha;Aphidoidea;Aphididae;Aphis;Aphis (Aphis)</
dwc:higherClassification>
or
<dwc:higherClassification>Animalia;Arthropoda;Insecta;Hemiptera;Sternorr
hyncha;Aphidoidea;Aphididae;Aphis;Aphis</dwc:higherClassification>
considering that there are about 4 other possible ranks in between
the subgenus and species?
Thanks!
Gail
