Detailed explanation-1: -The scientific names of species are italicized. The genus name is always capitalized and is written first; the specific epithet follows the genus name and is not capitalized. There is no exception to this.

Detailed explanation-3: -Capitalization. In addition, the genus (the first component of the name) should always be capitalized, while the species and subspecies are kept in lowercase.

Detailed explanation-4: -A species name is based on an organism’s biological classification and follows the system of binomial nomenclature. A name consists of two words: the generic name and the specific epithet. The generic name is the genus to which the species belongs, and the specific epithet refers to the species within that genus.
