None. We know the definition for 'species'. It's that 'kind' is a synonym for 'species' that you must establish. A great many of your co-religionists disagree with you on that point.
If I were you, I would go with 'kind=family", as I suggested earlier. It gets you out of nearly all of the problems you're having by insisting that 'kind' and 'species' are synonyms.
