Since only one genus is currently recognized, the genus description corresponds to that of the family description.
Species in the genus have previously been demarcated based upon the amino acid sequence of relevant gene products of RNA1 (RNA-directed RNA polymerase, RdRP), RNA2 (glycoprotein precursor, GP), and RNA3 (nucleocapsid protein, NP) differing by more than 25%.
