The class is a hierarchical level of biological systematics. A class is between the parent and order. More classes are grouped in some cases to a superclass. A class can also be divided into subclasses. Sometimes, in zoology, the term infra category (Latin infra, " below " ) or the subclass is also used when a taxon between subclass and superorder is necessary. Between the superclass and the class the series will be provided when needed yet.
