Classification above the level of species (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

genus

(Other definitions for genus that I've seen before include "group of organisms" , "The Homo of Homo sapiens?" , "Group of plants with common characteristics" , "Taxonomic class between family and species" , "Kind or sort of" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
