I don't think standard rules can be applied to White. He's an experiment made by Aizen who wouldn't exist in the natural world otherwise. As for Segunda Etapa, I'm afraid I have to say that's a no. It's stated outright that Ulquiorra is the sole example.

"Tribe" and "colony" carry very different meanings. For one, a tribe is a group; one of their possible connections is blood-ties. A colony, meanwhile, is described as a group sharing nationality or race. Also, I didn't say Grimmjow and co. were a colony. I merely used them as an example of a group unrelated to each other that roamed Hueco Mundo together. Pack is a better term for them, though. Ulquiorra's tribe are specific in that they share physical characteristics such as a humanoid shape and a demonic appearance. The colony killed by Nnoitra where never shown, just mentioned, so we only have so much to go on. The above is merely how I interpret it.
