It is important to have a clear idea of how many taxa (orders and families to start) are there in the COL and the xRelease without descendants to direct the search for datasets that potentially fill those gaps.

rank: above genus
status: accepted or provisionally accepted
its id is not included as the "parentID" of any lower-ranking taxon
