Hi

It looks you use Ictidomys tridecemlineatus as species name in your 
species tree http://www.ensembl.org/info/about/species.html but for the 
same taxid the ensembl API returns one of its alias as scientific_name 
(i.e. Spermophilus tridecemlineatus)

Also, according to NCBI taxonomy, this species is a Sciurognathi and 
should be grouped with mouse, rat and Dipodomys ordii in your species 
tree. Currently it is out of this group, with other Rodentia.

Regards
