[Taxacom] arazonensis or arizonaensis

[John Grehan]

Thanks for the quick feedback. And of course I meant arizonensis. When
typing my fingers always want to type ara instead of ari. They need better
training. I infer that there is nothing in the code to preclude
abbreviating 'Arizona' to 'arizon' as in arizonensis?
