Looney Tunes closer from giphy.com
Scientific names that I put way too much time into thinking about:
lumbricus hentai-icus giganticus
equus cutii regius
equus cutii terra
equus cutii arcanus
equus cutii volaticus
Thanks to RIG for the ending suggestion.

True, that would work. Indeed, I/they already did with ‘monoceros’ .
You can use Greek in binomial nomenclature; pegasi referred to as “Equus sapiens pegasus” wouldn’t be out-of-line, I think.
For sake of syntax I am compelled to point out that the tatzlwurm wouldn’t have a trinomial name. The ICZN Code uses trinomial names only for subspecies, to wit, groups of organisms that spend a significant period of time isolated from each other.
Ponies might have a trinomial name, and in such a case there would be three subspecies (Earth, Pegasus, and Unicorn). You might also argue that ponies are simply members of a clade (descending from Alicorns) that happen to be able to interbreed (id est, a horse and a donkey). Indeed, I contend that is how ponies would be categorized if they existed on earth.
The tatzlwurm, however, seems to be the only extant member of its clade, and so would only have a binomial name.
I commend you on a good bit of referential humor, in any case. :)
Well the actual looney tunes names were fake latin in the first place, the cutii was in there just to be cute.
Equus sapiens terrestris
Equus sapiens monoceros
Equus sapiens volaticus (yes)
