"Subfamily" is substituted for "suborder" (subordo) under certain conditions where the modern meaning of "suborder" was not intended. (Article 19.2) In a publication prior to 1 January 1890, if only one infraspecific rank is used, it is considered to be that of variety.
In botany, the ranks of subclass and suborder are secondary ranks pre-defined as respectively above and below the rank of order. [7] Any number of further ranks can be used as long as they are clearly defined. [7] The superorder rank is commonly used, with the ending -anae that was initiated by Armen Takhtajan's publications from 1966 onwards. [8]
In biological classification, [1] a subfamily (Latin: subfamilia, plural subfamiliae) is an auxiliary (intermediate) taxonomic rank, next below family but more inclusive than genus. Standard nomenclature rules end botanical subfamily names with "-oideae", [ 2 ] and zoological subfamily names with "-inae".
In biology, a tribe is a taxonomic rank above genus, but below family and subfamily. [1] [2] It is sometimes subdivided into subtribes. By convention, all taxa ranked above species are capitalized, including both tribe and subtribe. [citation needed] In zoology, the standard ending for the name of a zoological tribe is "-ini".
This is an overview of the suborder Serpentes, its two infraorders (subdivisions) and the families they contain. This is the group of reptiles commonly known as snakes.
Human taxonomy is the classification of the human species (systematic name Homo sapiens, Latin: "wise man") within zoological taxonomy. The systematic genus, Homo, is designed to include both anatomically modern humans and extinct varieties of archaic humans.

The family-group in zoological nomenclature includes several ranks: superfamily (-oidea), family (-idae), subfamily (-inae), and tribe (-ini). Under the principle of coordination, a name established at any of these ranks can be moved to another rank while retaining its original authorship and date, requiring only a change in suffix to reflect ...
