However, the mere fact that there are three linked nouns does not prove that this coextensiveness exists.
For example, we find Passeriformes, Passeridae, Passer (sparrows), but there are other families than Passeridae in the the order Passeriformes, and other genera than Passer in the family Passeridae.
