Default Organism Classification

In our current classification system, organisms are categorized by: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus Species.

My question is...

When was the last time a new Species was discovered? Probably 2005, since new species discoveries are fairly common.

What about a new Genus?

A new Family? Order? Clss? Phylum? Kingdom?

Is it even possible now for us to discover an organism that needs a new Kingdom? Have we exhausted any of these? If we've exhausted Kingdoms, how about Phylums?
