The shortfin mako shark, Isurus oxyrinchus, ("sharp nose") is a large shark of the Lamnidae family.
Shortfin makos are renowned for their speed and their ability to leap out of the water.

 The Structure of Scientific Names
Therefore, Lamniformes represents a larger grouping than Lamnidae (all sharks of the family Lamnidae are members of the order Lamniformes, but not all Lamniformes are members of Lamnidae).
It is therefore important to be able to distinguish not only between Lamniformes, and Lamnidae, but also lamnoids and lamnids.
With a little practice, anyone can learn to switch among these suffixes both quickly and accurately.
