Family: Benyviridae

Genus: Benyvirus

Distinguishing features

Since only one genus is currently recognized, the genus description corresponds to the family description. 

Species demarcation criteria

Benyviruses are distinguished by coat protein sequences of less than 90% amino acid identity, distant serological relations and distinct host ranges.
