The hierarchy of biological classification's eight major taxonomic ranks. Intermediate minor rankings are not shown.

In zoological nomenclature, a subphylum is a taxonomic rank below the rank of phylum.

Contents

The taxonomic rank of "subdivision" in fungi and plant taxonomy is equivalent to "subphylum" in zoological taxonomy. Some plant taxonomists have also used the rank of subphylum, for instance monocotyledons as a subphylum of phylum Angiospermae and vertebrates as a subphylum of phylum Chordata. [1]

Taxonomic rank

Subphylum is:

  1. subordinate to the phylum
  2. superordinate to the infraphylum, which is in turn superordinate to parvphylum. [2]

Where convenient, subphyla in turn can be divided into infraphyla; in turn such an infraphylum also would be superordinate to any classes or superclasses in the hierarchy.

Examples

Not all fauna phyla are divided into subphyla. Those that are include:

Examples of infraphyla include the Mycetozoa, the Gnathostomata and the Agnatha.
