The naming of the stages of the erythrocyte precursors varies.  

The naming of the stages of the erythrocyte precursors varies.  

The main headings for this section refer to each stage in terms of a histological description. Proerythroblast, basophilic erythroblast, polychromatic erythroblast, orthochromatic erythroblast and polychromatophilic erythrocyte.

The main headings for this section refer to each stage in terms of a histological description, namely the proerythroblast, basophilic erythroblast, polychromatic erythroblast, orthochromatic erythroblast and polychromatophilic erythrocyte.

Another classification of the stages is based upon the [[Haematopoiesis - Overview#Colony Forming Units|CFU-E]] being referred to as ‘rubri’. This system gives all developing blood cell lineages similar names. For example the first stage for erythrocytes is referred to as a [rubri]blast and the first stage for lymphocytes is called a [lympho]blast. The stages for the erythrocyte are rubriblast, prorubriblast, rubricyte and metarubricye.
