What is the difference between a haplotype and a haplogroup?

[lonewolfcypriot]

I'm guessing that a haplotype is a more recent than haplogroups, Am I wrong?

I'm pretty sure they are the same thing

If the Haplogroup is a branch on the tree, then a haplotype is a smaller subdivision of one Haplogroup, usually marked by specific SNPs.

Haplotype is a set of all Y-STR markers (genetic variants) owned by an individual, and which are transferred from father to son in almost unchanged form. Haplogroup is a collection of similar haplotypes that share a common ancestor with specific mutation (SNP) at a certain point in the past.

Nice summary, I didn't even know there was a difference.
