^ It's a different monster... but, if you refer to it as a more general term to include the common species and subspecies, Rathalos and Rathian are the same specie. It's just that the first is male and the second is female. But instead of call them Male Rath and Female Rath, they gave them specific names.

Nevermind... I don't want to start an argument for something like this.
