Organizing a complex genus into sections

Hello here is my problem:
I would like to organize a complex and speciose genus into sections.
The sections are well defined in the literature and easily identifiable, this organization would greatly benefit the quality of identifications as well as the understanding of the genus by both users and curators (including my self).
I am able to create a new section by http://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/new however I do not know how to include the many species belonging to this section. Is there a simple way to change the parent taxon of these species without having to make hundreds of taxon swaps?

If all you are doing is changing the parent (assuming you are a curator, and it does not fall under a locked taxa), then you can simply edit the species to change the parent, no need for taxa swaps.

Thank you! It works perfectly.
