Is there a specific reason that the Familial name is in parentheses and it is located underneath the trinomen name for this specimen? I think the reason is because Carl Linnaeus used the same Latin name for different species/genera/families, and it may be confusing when a specimen is being referred to by the Latin name. I do not know if this occurs only with subspecies, but I will keep an eye out for anything else. What do you think?
Yeah, I think it’s just so that every ID includes both the scientific name and the most precise common name available. Either the ID taxon itself has a common name…
…or it doesn’t, and the ID box backs off to the first ancestor that does (and also gives its scientific name, for the sake of precision):
