I have noticed a cladistic bias in the terms used for taxonomy. I am not a
cladist, and even cladists have to talk to non-cladists sometimes, so I feel
there should be words for kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and
species. Any suggestions?


Already thought of that and built it into the language.
Starting from the end of your list, the words are jutsi, seljutsi, terjutsi, veljutsi, xemjutsi, and then perhaps (because it has never come up before) selxavjutsi, selzeljutsi
