Ah, that will certainly need human supervision for automatic generation. Chances that we will be able to interpret the line
Elephants are large land mammals in two extant genera of the family Elephantidae: Elephas and Loxodonta, with the third genus Mammuthus extinct. into Elephant := genus ( Elphantidae Elephas || Elephantidae Loxodonta || Elephantidae Mammuthus) and try to resolve the genera from there at all seems pretty slim to get 100% correct, no matter how sophistocated the script is, but to write a script that can assist a human user to make a taxobox should be possible.
