Ah ok, I get what you mean. The last genus I was working on had a similar situation; particularly distinct groups of species got their sub-genera and everything else was crammed together higgledy-piggledy. Eventually they'll be no more new species being discovered and this job will be a lot easier. I'm a political science student, and this is similar to politics; everyone has their different view of what is/isn't appropriate classification, and it is unlikely to ever be settled. You have 4 studies claiming that X is a species, 3 later revisions claiming X is a subspecies of Y, genetic tests proving X is distinct from Y and then occular patterns and physical appearance showing X is related to Y. It goes on and on. lds "
