I suppose if someone wanted to be real ICZN Code pickey they would want you
to phrase it:  "The Caenorhabditis (elegans) group..." or:  " The
Caenorhabditis (elegans) xxxxx group..."   The xxxxxx would be the
nominotypical species epithet.  Ask your editor how they would want it.  It
they don't know....
