look at the definition for Species.
Quote:
species
noun spe·cies \ˈspē-(ˌ)shēz, -(ˌ)sēz\
biology : a group of animals or plants that are similar and can produce young animals or plants : a group of related animals or plants that is smaller than a genus
: a particular group of things or people that belong together or have some shared quality
A "completely different species" would not be able to reproduce with another species.
In the example of the Apple Maggot Fly genetically different offspring may have been produced but they still belong to the same species.
A Great Dane and Chihuahua belong to the same species.
