You've got to be kidding. You're taking 26 year-old immunological data over a very well supported topology based on 2.4 kb of DNA? Not wise. Taxomic designations should be nontrivial, and you're taxonomic ideas clearly are. Only when taxonomic ranks are based on biological reality (evolutionary history, which is nontrivial) do they have maximum meaning and heuristic power.
