Some of these are as follows (from G. G. Simpson, 1961, Principles
of Animal Taxonomy, Columbia Univ. Press):
Kingdom
Phylum (often Division in plants)
Subphylum
Superclass
Class
Subclass
Infraclass
Cohort
Superorder
Order

Infraorder
Superfamily
Family
Subfamily
Tribe
Subtribe
Genus
Subgenus
Species
Subspecies
To these, biologists now often add superspecies, and increasingly
semispecies (as between Species & Subspecies), though originally
semispecies were just species that were members of a superspecies
complex. Allospecies are members of s superspecies complex. I'm
sure there are others.
