Lapine
Anyway:
Kingdom Animalia Animals
Phylum Chordata ... with a spinal chord
Class Mammalia ... that breast feed their children.
Order Lagomorpha Rabbits, hares or pikas.

Lago is Greek for rabbit, lepus is Latin for hare, and cuniculus is Latin for rabbit. http://www.lagomania.com/taxonomy.html

The full biological toxonomic description would be something like:
Kingdon: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Lagomorpha
Family: Leporidat
Genus: Various (and many)
Species: also very many
In short, there is no word for the "whole species" of rabbits as there are many species of rabbits. The "family" of rabbits is called leporidat, as the family cows belong to is called bovine. (Water buffalo and yaks are also in this family).
