AphisTaxon

The APHIS taxon (PG05 genus/species) — client-supplied or inferred + validated against the APHIS name list. Mirrors FwsTaxon / AplTaxon: trust is conveyed by confidenceScore (1.0 = supplied/confirmed, lower = inferred), not a separate flag. Within-species variety is filed as a PG10 characteristic (A11), not here.
