Group of similar species (5)

I believe the answer is:

genus

(Other definitions for genus that I've seen before include "Category between family and species" , "Category above species (Biology)" , "Kind or sort of" , "species grouped together" , "Taxonomic group (biol.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
