Thanks for the clarification on the Generic type, TJ!

The 8.4.9 manual shows:

condor_status -l -any -constraint 'MyType == "Defrag"'

(page 374) and...

MyType = "Generic"
FauxType = "DBMS"
Name = "random-test"
Machine = "f05.cs.wisc.edu"
MyAddress = "<128.105.149.105:34000>"
DaemonStartTime = 1153192799
UpdateSequenceNumber = 1

(page 501-502). For this "DBMS" example, it sounds from what you're saying that we should be able to say MyType = "DBMS" and do a condor_status -subsystem DBMS? Or for the FlexLM example, MyType = "FlexLM":

Yep! Time to open a doc ticket? The Name attribute is used to generate a hash key, so that's a required attribute. The fact that we can have arbitrary types suggests that perhaps the Python bindings may need a tweak - SubsystemType is an enum.

Generic ads are actually at specific type of ad.   What you want to use is
 
What you actually want is condor_status -subsytem 'mytype'

This will make a generic query to the collector for ads of type 'mytype'

On the other hand, if your ads actually ARE of type generic, then condor_status -generic is the correct query to use.

Hint: you can look at the collector log to see what it actually sees for any condor_status query, grep for 'Query info'
