Using italics to name the genus and species is a standard practice in biological nomenclature. It serves to set biological names apart from other parts of a text.
Ex. Homo sapiens
Also, one must always capitalize the genus and all other taxa (kingdom, phylum, etc.) except for species, which is always lowercase. Taxa other than genus and species need not be italicized.
Ex.
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Primates
Family: Hominidae
Genus: Homo
Species: sapiens
