I don't believe the Light Furies are subspecies, but a different species from the same genus. They look too different to be the same species (members of different subspecies are still the same species, e. g. Siberian tigers and Bengal tigers are the same species).

Though rare in the wild, however, hybrids do occur. For this to happen, the two species must be the same genus.

Let's say Night Furies are known as ''Nocturno impetu. Light Furies, on the other hand, are known as, let's say, Nocturno lux. They can technically hybridize, as they are both Nocturno (just like a horse and a donkey can mate, as they are different species but both Equus.'')
