Subspecies
In taxonomy, a subspecies is the taxon immediately subordinate to a species. Members of one subspecies differ morphologically and/or genetically from members of other subspecies of the species.
In zoology, the scientific name of a subspecies is the binomen followed immediately by a subspecific epithet, e.g. Homo sapiens sapiens. The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (4th edition, 2000) does not attempt to codify any "infrasubspecific entities".
