Intermediate taxonomic rank below family
The hierarchy of
biological classification 's eight major
taxonomic ranks . Intermediate minor rankings are not shown.
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".
[1]
Detarioideae is an example of a botanical subfamily. Detarioideae is a subdivision of the family
Fabaceae (legumes), containing 84 genera.
[3]
Stevardiinae is an example of a zoological subfamily. Stevardiinae is a large subdivision of the family
Characidae , a diverse
clade of
freshwater fish .
