The second name in the binomial system of naming organisms is the specific epithet, also known as the species name. This name is always written in lowercase and is combined with the first part, the genus name, to identify a specific species. For example, in Homo sapiens, "Homo" is the genus and "sapiens" is the specific epithet.
