No, I think Shogun and Daimyo are different enough visually to qualify as distinct species. They're just closely related, that's all. Otherwise, where do you draw the line? Diablos and Monoblos are pretty similar; are they just Subspecies of each other? I find it nicer to just think of them as closely related.

Personally, I'd say Daimyo and Shogun are about as different as Congalala and Blangonga. Different habitats, different looks, a few different moves and gimmicks (ever seen Daimyo crawl across the ceiling?).
