In a scientific name, the genus is the broader taxonomic category that comes before the species. The species is the more specific identifier that follows the genus. For example, in the scientific name "Canis lupus," Canis is the genus and lupus is the species.
A Pink (river) dolphin is another name for the Boto, or Amazon River dolphin. Its scientific name is Inia geoffrensis.
Pink dolphin it the common name of two different dolphins: Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin, Sousa chinensis chinensis (genus Sousa), and the Amazon river dolphin, Inia geoffrensis (genus Inia).
Biologists/Taxonomists/Mammalologists recognise two species of Bottlenose Dolphin, both in the genus Tursiops. The one is Tursiops aduncus, the other, Tursiops truncatus.
Recent molecular studies show the genus contains two species, the common bottlenose dolphin(Tursiops truncatus) and the Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops aduncus), instead of one. Research in 2011 revealed a third species, the Burrunan dolphin (Tursiops australis).
The genus is the broader classification group that is part of an organism's scientific name, while the species is the specific categorization within that genus. For example, in the scientific name "Homo sapiens," Homo is the genus and sapiens is the species.

The taxonomic category of Ascaris is a genus within the phylum Nematoda, which are commonly referred to as roundworms.
genus is the largest category in Linnaeus's
in a scientific name, the genus comes first and then comes the species. The genus and species are the scientific name.
Genus and species are two taxonomic ranks in the classification of organisms. The genus is a broader category that groups closely related species together, while the species is a more specific category that refers to a particular type of organism. In scientific naming, the genus name is written first, followed by the species name, forming the binomial (two-part) species name.
