Species and Race diversity and names

+0
−0

what are the rules I need to follow to name different races of a specie and different species that have one ancestor in common ?

Additionally how do i know when a race becomes a species ?

Is an humanoid primate predator with a giant mouth and shark teeth , eight large eyes. has over human intelligence ,incredibly agility and strength. Reproduces asexually but can mate with people too. This animal evolved particularly to hunt other humans.

Can this creature be considered a different race of homo sapiens or is a new species ?

More details :

This ''shakrtooth'' humanoid arose from an oppressed tribe victimized by a virus that mutated every cell of their body. This tribe survived for centuries by feeding on dead soldiers cause there was no other source of food.

Soon after the end of war they started hunting other weaker tribes and after millions of years this is how they look like enter image description here

Sorry for the image but I'm not the best at sculpting....
