That I would say as {su'o finpe cu tolcitmau su'o mabru}.
I make a distinction between {lo finpe} and {su'o finpe}.
I use {lo} as an empty gadri, all it does is convert a
selbri into a sumti without any additional semantics.

That's too technical for me, as I don't know much about
taxons. Your sentence is probably correct, but much more
precise than the original.
