Since only one genus is currently recognized, the genus description corresponds to the family description.
The different criteria considered for species demarcation in the genus are:
María Laura García, Elena Dal Bó, John V. da Graça, Selma Gago-Zachert, John Hammond, Pedro Moreno, Tomohide Natsuaki, Vicente Pallás, Jose A. Navarro, Carina A. Reyes, Gabriel Robles Luna, Takahide Sasaya, Ioannis E. Tzanetakis, Anna María Vaira and Martin Verbeek
Viruses assigned to the genus Alpharicinrhavirus form a distinct monophyletic group based on well-supported Maximum Likelihood or Maximum Clade Credibility trees inferred from complete L sequences. Members of the genus have been detected in hard ticks (family Ixodidae). They are distant phylogenetically from viruses assigned to the genera Betaricinrhavirus and Gammaricinrhavirus.
