Why not "(c)lutrinai" or something of the like? Not that I am hating on it. :)

Because “lutrinai” = “lu trinai” = “lu trina zei natmi” and “clutrinai” = “culno zei trina zei natmi”.

Latin name is "lutra", a gimvla u'i. Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Family: Mustelidae Subfamily: Lutrinae
It just occurred to me that we don't have them in the dict. .animalias., xordata, mamalias, karnivora, mustlida ? This mixing cmevla and non-cmevla would be an arbitrary choice. Where is the border when we need to stop cmevla-izing taxons? The quickest answer is that everything below species is definitely a cmene (jutsi2). Should we map class Mammalia to mabru and Animalia to danlu?

I vote yay. Likewise for Plantae, Fungi, etc.
Do not forget the domains of Eukaryota, Bacteria, Archaea (arxaia?), and the superdomain of the latter two (prokaryota?)! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-domain_system

danlu is not glossed as Animalia. It can be even bacteria imo. Probably I'll avoid mapping the practicists' taxonomy onto the biological one. I think I'll agree with mabru.

arxaia, e'ukariotas (efkaria?), prokariota, nalskami u'i vidru.

Just for the record, I knew that those words decomposed that way; I quoted it because I did not want to think to much about how to transcribe the basic word more properly into Lojban, but I still wanted to raise the point concretely.
