Solution

Two organisms can't be in the same species if they are not in the same genus. Your question is like: if two people live in New York City can they live in different states. Sometimes the 2nd name of a species (the epithet) can be the same word but if the first name isn't the same they are not related. Just like 2 people can live in Salem but that doesn't mean they are in the same city. One might be in Oregon and the other in Mass. And yes, they can be related, distantly probably
