[tdwg-content] subgenus as part of higherClassification

[Gail Kampmeier]

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
