the mandolin family is much like that of the violin;

There is the mandolin, the highest pitched in the family

The Mandola, lower than the mandolin and tuned the same a a viola

The Mandocello, as the name suggest similar to a cello tuning

A mando- bass which is, again obvious, much like a double bass.

There is also the octave-mandolin which is tuned exactly the same as a mandolin, just and octave lower.

There is also, arguable, the Irish Bouzouki which is derived from a greek bouzuki as a pose to the lute (which the other mandolins are derived from). However, it has a flat back and is tuned in fifths so many now see it as another branch of the mandolin family.
