Re: Subspecies vs. species?

Thanks to Alistair for having a go but I was interested in the difference
between subspecies and variety.  We have a number of times where authors
change a variety to a subspecies only to have later authors ignore this and
revert them to varieties.  Couldn't one of these terms be reasonably made
redundant?
Anyone?
