Except for <a href="/wiki/Virus_classification" title="Virus classification">viruses</a>, the standard format for a <a href="/wiki/Species" title="Species">species</a> name comprises the generic name, indicating the genus to which the species belongs, followed by the specific epithet, which (within that genus) is unique to the species. For example, the <a href="/wiki/Gray_wolf" class="mw-redirect" title="Gray wolf">gray wolf</a>'s scientific name is Canis lupus, with <a href="/wiki/Canis" title="Canis">Canis</a> (<a href="/wiki/Latin" title="Latin">Latin</a> for 'dog') being the generic name shared by the wolf's close relatives and lupus (Latin for 'wolf') being the specific name particular to the wolf. A botanical example would be <a href="/wiki/Hibiscus_arnottianus" title="Hibiscus arnottianus">Hibiscus arnottianus</a>, a particular species of the genus <a href="/wiki/Hibiscus" title="Hibiscus">Hibiscus</a> native to Hawaii. The specific name is written in lower-case and may be followed by <a href="/wiki/Subspecies" title="Subspecies">subspecies</a> names in <a href="/wiki/Zoology" title="Zoology">zoology</a> or a variety of <a href="/wiki/Infraspecific_name" title="Infraspecific name">infraspecific names</a> in <a href="/wiki/Botany" title="Botany">botany</a>. When the generic name is already known from context, it may be shortened to its initial letter, for example, C. lupus in place of Canis lupus. Where species are further subdivided, the generic name (or its abbreviated form) still forms the leading portion of the scientific name, for example, Canis lupus lupus for the <a href="/wiki/Eurasian_wolf" title="Eurasian wolf">Eurasian wolf</a> subspecies, or as a botanical example, Hibiscus arnottianus ssp. immaculatus. Also, as visible in the above examples, the Latinised portions of the scientific names of genera and their included species (and infraspecies, where applicable) are, by convention, written in <a href="/wiki/Italic_type" title="Italic type">italics</a>. The scientific names of <a href="/wiki/Virus" title="Virus">virus</a> species are descriptive, not binomial in form, and may or may not incorporate an indication of their containing genus; for example, the virus species "<a href="/wiki/Salmonid_herpesvirus_1" class="mw-redirect" title="Salmonid herpesvirus 1">Salmonid herpesvirus 1</a>", "<a href="/wiki/Salmonid_herpesvirus_2" title="Salmonid herpesvirus 2">Salmonid herpesvirus 2</a>" and "<a href="/wiki/Salmonid_herpesvirus_3" title="Salmonid herpesvirus 3">Salmonid herpesvirus 3</a>" are all within the genus <a href="/wiki/Salmonivirus" class="mw-redirect" title="Salmonivirus">Salmonivirus</a>; however, the genus to which the species with the formal names "<a href="/wiki/Everglades_virus" title="Everglades virus">Everglades virus</a>" and "<a href="/wiki/Ross_River_virus" title="Ross River virus">Ross River virus</a>" are assigned is <a href="/wiki/Alphavirus" title="Alphavirus">Alphavirus</a>. As with scientific names at other ranks, in all groups other than viruses, names of genera may be cited with their authorities, typically in the form "author, year" in zoology, and "standard abbreviated author name" in botany. Thus in the examples above, the genus Canis would be cited in full as "Canis Linnaeus, 1758" (zoological usage), while Hibiscus, also first established by <a href="/wiki/Carl_Linnaeus" title="Carl Linnaeus">Linnaeus</a> but in 1753, is simply "Hibiscus L." (botanical usage). <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_type_concept">The type concept</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Genus&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: The type concept" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Type_genus" title="Type genus">Type genus</a>, <a href="/wiki/Type_species" title="Type species">Type species</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Type_specimen" class="mw-redirect" title="Type specimen">Type specimen</a></div> Each genus should have a designated <a href="/wiki/Type_(biology)" title="Type (biology)">type</a>, although in practice there is a backlog of older names without one.

Available names are those published in accordance with the <a href="/wiki/International_Code_of_Zoological_Nomenclature" title="International Code of Zoological Nomenclature">International Code of Zoological Nomenclature</a>; the earliest such name for any taxon (for example, a genus) should then be selected as the "<a href="/wiki/Valid_name_(zoology)" title="Valid name (zoology)">valid</a>" (i.e., current or accepted) name for the taxon in question. Consequently, there will be more available names than valid names at any point in time; which names are currently in use depending on the judgement of taxonomists in either combining taxa described under multiple names, or splitting taxa which may bring available names previously treated as synonyms back into use. "Unavailable" names in zoology comprise names that either were not published according to the provisions of the ICZN Code, e.g., incorrect original or subsequent spellings, names published only in a thesis, and generic names published after 1930 with no type species indicated.<a href="#cite_note-Hawksworth2010-8">[8]</a> According to "Glossary" section of the zoological Code, suppressed names (per published "Opinions" of the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature) remain available but cannot be used as the valid name for a taxon; however, the names published in suppressed works are made unavailable via the relevant Opinion dealing with the work in question. In botany, similar concepts exist but with different labels. The botanical equivalent of zoology's "available name" is a <a href="/wiki/Validly_published_name" title="Validly published name">validly published name</a>. An invalidly published name is a nomen invalidum or nom. inval.; a rejected name is a nomen rejiciendum or nom. rej.; a later homonym of a validly published name is a nomen illegitimum or nom. illeg.; for a full list refer to the <a href="/wiki/International_Code_of_Nomenclature_for_algae,_fungi,_and_plants" title="International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants">International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants</a> and the work cited above by Hawksworth, 2010.<a href="#cite_note-Hawksworth2010-8">[8]</a> In place of the "valid taxon" in zoology, the nearest equivalent in botany is "<a href="/wiki/Correct_name" title="Correct name">correct name</a>" or "current name" which can, again, differ or change with alternative taxonomic treatments or new information that results in previously accepted genera being combined or split. <a href="/wiki/International_Code_of_Nomenclature_of_Prokaryotes" title="International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes">Prokaryote</a> and <a href="/wiki/International_Committee_on_Taxonomy_of_Viruses" title="International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses">virus</a> codes of nomenclature also exist which serve as a reference for designating currently[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Chronological_items" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers">when?</a>] accepted genus names as opposed to others which may be either reduced to synonymy, or, in the case of prokaryotes, relegated to a status of "names without standing in prokaryotic nomenclature". An available (zoological) or validly published (botanical) name that has been historically applied to a genus but is not regarded as the accepted (current/valid) name for the taxon is termed a <a href="/wiki/Synonym_(taxonomy)" title="Synonym (taxonomy)">synonym</a>; some authors also include unavailable names in lists of synonyms as well as available names, such as misspellings, names previously published without fulfilling all of the requirements of the relevant nomenclatural code, and rejected or suppressed names. A particular genus name may have zero to many synonyms, the latter case generally if the genus has been known for a long time and redescribed as new by a range of subsequent workers, or if a range of genera previously considered separate taxa have subsequently been consolidated into one. For example, the <a href="/wiki/World_Register_of_Marine_Species" title="World Register of Marine Species">World Register of Marine Species</a> presently lists 8 genus-level synonyms for the sperm whale genus <a href="/wiki/Physeter" title="Physeter">Physeter</a> Linnaeus, 1758,<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a> and 13 for the bivalve genus <a href="/wiki/Pecten_(bivalve)" title="Pecten (bivalve)">Pecten</a> O.F.

However, many names have been assigned (usually unintentionally) to two or more different genera. For example, the <a href="/wiki/Platypus" title="Platypus">platypus</a> belongs to the genus Ornithorhynchus although <a href="/wiki/George_Shaw_(biologist)" title="George Shaw (biologist)">George Shaw</a> named it Platypus in 1799 (these two names are thus synonyms). However, the name Platypus had already been given to a group of <a href="/wiki/Ambrosia_beetle" title="Ambrosia beetle">ambrosia beetles</a> by <a href="/wiki/Johann_Friedrich_Wilhelm_Herbst" title="Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Herbst">Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Herbst</a> in 1793. A name that means two different things is a homonym. Since beetles and platypuses are both members of the kingdom Animalia, the name could not be used for both. <a href="/wiki/Johann_Friedrich_Blumenbach" title="Johann Friedrich Blumenbach">Johann Friedrich Blumenbach</a> published the replacement name Ornithorhynchus in 1800. However, a genus in one <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_(biology)" title="Kingdom (biology)">kingdom</a> is allowed to bear a scientific name that is in use as a generic name (or the name of a taxon in another rank) in a kingdom that is governed by a different nomenclature code.

Based on data from the <a href="/wiki/Reptile_Database" title="Reptile Database">Reptile Database</a> (as of May 2015).</figcaption></figure> The number of species in genera varies considerably among taxonomic groups. For instance, among (non-avian) <a href="/wiki/Reptile" title="Reptile">reptiles</a>, which have about 1180 genera, the most (>300) have only 1 species, ~360 have between 2 and 4 species, 260 have 5–10 species, ~200 have 11–50 species, and only 27 genera have more than 50 species. However, some insect genera such as the bee genera <a href="/wiki/Lasioglossum" title="Lasioglossum">Lasioglossum</a> and <a href="/wiki/Andrena" title="Andrena">Andrena</a> have over 1000 species each. The largest flowering plant genus, <a href="/wiki/Astragalus_(plant)" title="Astragalus (plant)">Astragalus</a>, contains over 3,000 species.<a href="#cite_note-Frodin-21">[21]</a><a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a> Which species are assigned to a genus is somewhat arbitrary. Although all species within a genus are supposed to be "similar", there are no objective criteria for grouping species into genera. There is much debate among zoologists whether enormous, species-rich genera should be maintained, as it is extremely difficult to come up with identification keys or even character sets that distinguish all species. Hence, many taxonomists argue in favor of breaking down large genera. For instance, the lizard genus <a href="/wiki/Anolis" title="Anolis">Anolis</a> has been suggested to be broken down into 8 or so different genera which would bring its ~400 species to smaller, more manageable subsets.<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(5)"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2> <a role="button"
