Is the sentence grammatical and meaningful? Thanks in advance.

"Come of" sounds odd. "They" in the first clause is the two ***** in question. "*****" in the second clause is the general case. This results in a confused meaning that the reader has to try to sort out. I took "family" to be the classification between order and genus at first.
