The
taxonomic groups used in
scientific
classification from most general to most specific are:
Intermediate ranks may be created by adding
prefixes, for instance:
In addition, species are often subdivided into
subspecies and other infraspecific categories (see
subspecies,
variety,
subvariety and
form). In certain circumstances prefixes beyond sub- need be
used. Some other ranks are also sometimes added. For instance,
domains or empires may be given above the level of kingdom,
tribes between the levels of family
and genus, and sections and
series between the genus and species.
