Within Equidae, "Equus" is the only recognized extant genus, comprising seven living species. The term equine refers to any member of this genus, including horses. Like Equidae more broadly, "Equus" has numerous extinct species known only from fossils. The genus most likely originated in North America and spread quickly to the Old World.

Gloeoporus africanus (allantoid), measuring 3.8–4.2 by 0.6–0.7 μm. Gloeoporus africanus Gloeoporus africanus is a species of crust fungus in the family Irpicaceae. Found in Africa, it was described as a new species in 2018 by Paul Jung and Young Wood Lim.

"G. africanus" has a monomitic hyphal system, and its generative hyphae have
