Definition
(n.) A class of objects divided into several subordinate species; a class more extensive than a species; a precisely defined and exactly divided class; one of the five predicable conceptions or sorts of terms.
(n.) An assemblage of species having so many fundamental points of structure in common that in the judgment of competent scientists they may receive a common substantive name. A genus is not necessarily the lowest definable group of species for it may often be divided into several subgenera. In proportion as its definition is exact it is natural genus; if its definition can not be made clear it is more or less an artificial genus.
