You could create an attribute text file as follows:

MyColor
Drosophila = species
SRY = gene
human = species
p53 = gene
mouse = species
BRCA2 = gene

First open your two column table in Cytoscape as you described. Then use File > Import >Node Attributes to import the above file. In the VizMapper tab, select Node Color and choose "MyColor" then click on each of the Mapping Type (i.e. gene and species) and select the colour you want for the species name and the gene name.
