Related genera are grouped into a higher taxonomic category called a family. In biological classification, a family is a higher level grouping that encompasses multiple genera sharing similar characteristics and evolutionary relationships.
Several genera make up a family in the classification system. Genera are groups of related species, and when multiple genera are grouped together, they form a taxonomic category called a family. Families contain species that share similar characteristics and evolutionary histories.

The biological classification (Linnaean taxonomy) of a star fish or sea star is as follows: Kingdom=Animalia Phylum=Echinodermata Class=Asteroidea The over 1700 different species of sea stars (star fish) are then divided into seven different orders which are themselves divided into families and then genera (plural of genus): Order=Brisingida (contains 6 families and 17 genera) or Forcipulatida (contains 6 families and 68 genera) or Notomyotida (contains 1 family and 12 genera) or Paxillocida (contains 5 families and 46 genera) or Spinulosida (contains 1 family and 9 genera) or Valvatida (contains 14 families and 165 genera) or Velatida (contains 5 families and 25 genera) Of these, Valvatida is the most diverse with nearly 700 different species. Some of the designations of family and genus are controversial, new research is always being published, and sometimes even new animals are discovered. Therefore these numbers are subject to change as new and better information becomes available.

"Ladybug" is a very broad term used for an entire family of beetles (Coccinellidae). There are nearly a hundred genera just in one of the subfamilies (Coccinellinae) within this famly, and several hundred genera in the family as a whole.
Similar Genera are grouped together under the Family classification level in the Linnaean taxonomy system. Genera with similar characteristics are further grouped together into Families based on shared traits and characteristics.
