Subfamily
The hierarchy of biological classification's eight major taxonomic ranks. Intermediate minor rankings are not shown.
In biological classification, a subfamily (Latin: subfamilia, plural subfamiliae) is an auxiliary (intermediate) taxonomic rank, next below family but more inclusive than genus. Standard nomenclature rules end subfamily botanical names with "-oideae",[1] and zoological names with "-inae".[2]
