The taxonomy system needs a total rewrite anyway, and one thing that might be considered for the rewrite is the addition of subfamilies.

Subfamilies, for the purpose of the taxonomy project, would serve to categorize genera based on shared physical characteristics that are not distinct enough to split a family--for example, the difference between a dog and a fox.

Here is what it might look like on a family taxon page, using real-life canines as an example: Subfamily Canini (dog-like canines): Subfamily Vulpini (fox-like canines): This would make it much easier to find specific types of creatures and help prevent misclassified creatures from sitting in the wrong family for an extended period of time.
 * Canis
 * Dog (C. familiaris)
 * Coyote (C. latrans)
 * Wolf (C. lupus)
 * Lycaon
 * African Wild Dog (L. pictus)
 * Vulpus
 * Red Fox (V. vulpus)
 * Fennec Fox (V. Zerda)
 * Otocyon
 * Bat-eared fox (O. megalotis)
