As a curator I want to understand nominotypical names #33

Please add, with answers to BASIC_NOMENCLATURE:

For family group names:
  * What protonyms do I need to create for each form of the name
  * To which ranked Protonym do I attach the type Genus 
  * Do I have to re-attach the type genus to each family group protonym?
For genus group names:
  * Do I have to create a nominotypical subgenus?
  * To which rank should I attach the type species in cases where nominotypical genera exist, genus, or subgenus?  What if I have done the opposite?
  * Does the attachment of the type species differ if the nominotypical subgenus came with, or after the original description of the genus?
For species group names:
  * Do I have to create a nominotypical subspecies?
  * Which ranked name should I attach the type material to, species, or subspecies? 
  * What if I attached the type material to the opposite of what is required above?
  * When I create the original combination of a species group name, and it references a genus that has nominotypical subgenera, and those subgenera are currently in use, which genus protonym do I use in the original combination in the genus slot, the subgenus, or genus? For example Aus (Aus) exists and is accepted, and the original combination of the species is is "Aus bus".  Which Aus should I use in the genus slot, the current subgenus, or genus?
