A lot of protists have only been recently discovered or due to their small size are virtually unknown to most people. This causes many of them to lack common names. However, for those that do have common names you can usually find them by doing a google search. Also see the Wikipedia page on protists where many are shown with their common and scientific names.
Genus and Species
Write the name of the genus first, and ALWAYScapitalize just the FIRST LETTER of the genus name. Write the name or the species next, and NEVER capitalize any part of the species name. Either UNDERLINE the genus and species names (separately), OR write both words in ITALICS

The first name in a scientific name represents the genus of the organism, which groups species based on shared characteristics. The second name represents the species within that genus, distinguishing it from other closely related species. Together, the two names form a unique identifier for each species.
Genus and Species
The correct way to write a scientific name of an organism is to use binomial nomenclature, which consists of the genus name (written uppercase) followed by the species name (written lowercase), both in italics or underlined. For example, Homo sapiens is the scientific name for humans.
Two names (the genus and the species)
Scientific names show the classification groups of an organism, including the genus and species. They are used in binomial nomenclature to provide a universal system for identifying and categorizing different species.
The bobcat is Felis Rufus.
Genus and Species
The genus is "Homo", and the species is "sapiens". Together: "Homo sapiens". The modern species of humans, the only extant species of the primate family Hominidae.
Genus and species names are in Latin.
