What is another word for subgenus?
Pronunciation: [sˈʌbd͡ʒənəs] (IPA) 
Subgenus, a taxonomic rank that falls below genus, is a term used in biology to classify and identify similar species. It is often used to describe a group of related species that share common characteristics, but are distinct from other species within the same genus. Other synonyms for subgenus include infragenus, section and subsection. Infragenus is typically used for smaller groups within a genus, whereas section and subsection are more commonly used in plant taxonomy. These terms are all used to describe the same concept of dividing a genus into smaller, more closely related groups of species for scientific classification and identification purposes.
