Rules for Scientific nomenclature
When we are writing the scientific names it is necessary to follow certain International rules which are:

  • The scientific name (Genus name, Species name and Subspecies name) should be written or printed in Italics.
  • The genus name or generic name must start with the capital letter.
  • The species name or the specific name must start with the small letter
  • The generic name should be followed by the specific name
  • In case different scientists have named the same genus or species differently, the names which are published first are accepted.
  • A family name is formed by suffix-IDEA to the name of the genus and the name of the sub family is formed by suffix-INAE.
