I said in my summary

How about soft-peddling the fairly technical and effectively artificial S/G distinction, for the sake of most readers? Clearly separate articles would be silly, so this one should be made to serve both needs well.

I find it hard to imagine a pair of articles on the species and genus that would not be better merged. Maybe it would be worth considering which title should go on the article and which be a Rdr to it, but pending small changes of wording if that should change, and pending a reclassification or new species, i thot it should fairly seamlessly do both jobs. No doubt this has been discussed in similar cases, so i made a point dedicating an edit to just that change, facilitating reversion if i'm even more clueless than i realize.

Fair point. I removed the comment that future species would share the characteristics because it seemed unnecessary and there are genera which contain species with different metabolism, for instance. cyclosarin (talk) 06:27, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

• ! Hadn't occurred to me. Hey, this collaborative editing thing sometimes works, eh? Thanks!
