Yeah, subspecies does not mean that it's smaller than a dragon. I guess an example to help explain subspecies is that the Bengal Tiger and the Siberian Tiger are both tigers, but they're subspecies of tiger. Both can be of similar size length-wise and weight-wise. All it really means is that they're specific types of tigers.

A wyvern is a specific type of dragon, much like how a Chinese dragon is a type of dragon. "Dragon" tends to be pretty much an umbrella term for mythical flying reptile that often has a breath weapon of some kind (usually fire; can be ice/freezing breath, poison, etc).
