First, the name that you mention can be called, "Binomial (2-name) Nomenclature (name)", Latin name, or scientific name.

The first word, always capitalized, is the 'genus' (not genius).

The second and third words, never capitalized, is the species and (sometimes) the subspecies. The name is either written in Italics, or underlined. A good example of that is the binomial nomenclature for humans: Homo sapiens sapiens. The subspecies word is often surrounded by parentheses.

By the way, "homo" means "man or human" in Latin, and "sapiens" means "wise one or smart one".
