[tdwg] species group - Dwc interpretations?

Hi all,

Forgive me if this has been discussed already. I am trying to decide how to deal with species groups in our database. Here are some real life examples.

Eg. Terellia sp. (virens group)

option 1: Genus: Terellia SpecificEpithet: virens TaxonCertainty: species group

option 2: Genus: Terellia SpecificEpithet: sp. (virens group)

Eg. Oecetis new sp.? inconspicua group

option 1: Genus: Oecetis SpecificEpithet: new sp. TaxonCertainty: "?" how do I incorporate the group?

option 2: Genus: Oecetis SpecificEpithet: n.sp. (inconspicua group) TaxonCertainty: "?"
