The name of the species does not appear, in plain text, anywhere on that
page; that's both an accessibility issue, and a problem for search
engines, which will have nothing to index it by. Ideally the species name
should be in the HTML "H1" element; and the other headings demoted to
"H2".

You might also like to consider the 'Species' microformat:

   <http://microformats.org/wiki/species>

(bear in mind it's a beta, and may change)
