Canis.


I believe you are asking, what is the genus of wolves. In binomial nomenclature genus is the is the first part of a formal system of naming living things. In the case of the grey wolf, it has a scientific name of Canis lupis, the first part of the name Canis is the genus, the second part lupis is the species name.
