Viruses assigned to the genus Primrhavirus 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 mosquitoes (Culicidae). They are distinct phylogenetically from related viruses assigned to the genus Stangrhavirus.
Viruses assigned to the genus Gammaricinrhavirus 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 distinct phylogenetically from viruses assigned to the genera Alpharicinrhavirus and Betaricinrhavirus.
Viruses assigned to the genus Gammahymrhavirus 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 hymenopteran insects (Hymenoptera) including bees and wasps. They are distinct phylogenetically from viruses assigned to the genera Alphahymrhavirus and Betahymrhavirus.
The viruses assigned to the subfamily form a monophyletic clade in well-supported Maximum Likelihood or Maximum Clade Credibility trees using full-length L sequences. The subfamily includes eleven genera for viruses detected in insects, nematode worms or crustaceans.
Viruses assigned to the genus Margarhavirus form a distinct monophyletic group based on well-supported Maximum Likelihood or Maximum Clade Credibility trees inferred from complete L sequences. Chemarfal virus 1 (CHMFV1; species Margarhavirus chemarfal), currently the only virus assigned to the genus, was detected in a freshwater mussel.
Virion morphology is unknown.
Viruses assigned to the genus Uniorhavirus form a distinct monophyletic group based on well-supported Maximum Likelihood or Maximum Clade Credibility trees inferred from complete L sequences. Killamcar 1 virus 1 (KILLV1; species Uniorhavirus killamcar), currently the only virus assigned to the genus, was detected in a freshwater mollusc.
Virion morphology is unknown.
