In biology, a 'species' has to be able to breed and pass on it's genes somehow. Though that's just biology - I think you are right when you say it fits with a more general definition. But if we are getting technical then we don't know if parasites breed. Not sure what you could use as a different category name though, maybe Morphons? I think it's a living individual that can think independently and is characterized by definiteness of form (so not by race/breed presumably). Morphology is the study of the form and structure of organisms without consideration of function as well, if that means anything.

I don't see the problem in using the term 'Species' though since it has a lot of relating subcategories. It's seems a same that it only has one page in it, but I guess that's not always needed.
