| rdfs:comment | - In biological classification, family (Latin: familia, plural familiae) is 1) a rank or 2) a taxon in that rank. Example: "Walnuts and Hickories belong to the Walnut family" is a brief way of saying: the Walnuts (genus Juglans) and the Hickories (genus Carya) belong to the Walnut family (family Juglandaceae). Next only to species and genus, the family is the most important rank in taxonomy. Exact details of formal nomenclature depend on the Nomenclature Code which applies, see scientific classification and:
* Rank (botany)
* Rank (zoology)
* Virus classification
- In biological classification, family (Latin: familia) is
* a taxonomic rank. Other well-known ranks are life, domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, genus, and species, with family fitting between order and genus. As for the other well-known ranks, there is the option of an immediately lower rank, indicated by the prefix sub-: subfamily (Latin: subfamilia).
* a taxonomic unit, a taxon, in that rank. In that case the plural is families (Latin familiae) Example: "Walnuts and Hickories belong to the Walnut family.

What does and does not belong to each family is determined by a taxonomist. Similarly for the question if a particular family should be recognized at all. Often there is no exact agreement, with different taxonomists each taking a different position. There are no hard rules that a taxonomist needs to follow in describing or recognizing a family. Some families are accepted almost universally, while others are recognized only rarely.
