Capitalized.
An organism can only have one genus name as part of its scientific classification. The genus name is always capitalized and is used alongside the species name to give the organism its unique scientific name.
Genus species.The two parts that make up the binomial name indicate genus and species. The first name of the pair is the genus name; it is always capitalized. A genus is a group of organisms that share major features or characteristics. The second is the species name; it is in lower case. The species name identifies one particular organism within the group or genus. Both names are always italicized (also indicated by underlining).
Scientific names are made up of the genus followed by the species.
When writing genus and species the genus goes first and is always capitalized. The species comes second and is in lower case. Examples: The cat is Felis catus. The lion is Panthera leo.
The standard scientific naming system, binomial nomenclature, uses the genus and species name, in italics: Genus species. If additional information is necessary for identifying an organism, the lower taxa subspecies/variety and breed/subvariety may be used: Genus species subspecies "Breed."

Well in binomial nomenclature, if this is what you are referring to, the first name is the Genus and the final name is the species. Notice the Genus name is always capitalized and the species is always lower case, ex. Homo sapiens.
The first part, which refers to the Genus. The second part, referring to the species, is not capitalized.
Panthera leoThe genus is always capitalized and the species is always lower-cased.Also the genus and species must either be underlined or italicized when written.
First = Genus & Second = species :) -AlyssaReed :o.

Genus and Species
Scientific names are made up of the genus followed by the species.
The first letter of every species stands for the genus name of the species. The genus name must always be capitalized, and the entire name must be underlined or in italics.
The first word in a scientific name represents the genus of an organism, which groups species with similar characteristics together. It is always capitalized and is written before the specific epithet, which represents the species within the genus.
Scientific names of organisms are written in italics (or underlined if handwritten) and consist of two parts: the genus name capitalized and the species name in lowercase. For example, the scientific name for humans is Homo sapiens. The genus name is always capitalized, while the species name is always in lowercase.
