Currently, this genus comprises only one species, but a group of viruses with closely related sequences have been discovered (see “Related, unclassified viruses”) and will likely be classified in this genus: the main distinguishing feature is that the ORF coding for the protein carrying the RdRP motif is larger than those of other fusarivirids, and the virus genomes are, in most cases, monocistronic.
Viruses in this genus are monophyletic in a phylogenetic tree obtained aligning the full-length proteins that include the RdRP domain.
Viruses belonging to the same species are >80% identical in the full-length sequence of the protein that includes an RdRP domain.

Xīnzhōu spider virus (XSV) is the only classified xinspivirus. XSV infects araneid spiders (Li et al., 2015).
Virions are unknown.
Red goblin roach virus 1 (RGRV1; outdated synonym blattodean nairo-related virus OKIAV321 [BNRV-321]) is the only classified ocetevirus. RGRV1 infects ectobiid cockroaches (Käfer et al., 2019).
