And what does all of this mean?

Every living thing is classified by a binomial naming system that has seven level: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species (and certain sub and supra levels as needed) . What we have up here is the binomial path that leads down to the Stingrays. To name a particular stingray you now have to decide which Genus it is that you want and then get yourself a list of species that belong to the Genus. To get the name of a particular species you have to have a Genus and species.

The common name for a stingray is just that, "stingray." This name comes from the sharp, barbed stinger located on the tail of the animal.
