Subfamily: Deltarhabdovirinae

Genus: Gammahymrhavirus

Distinguishing features

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.

Family: Rhabdoviridae

Subfamily: Deltarhabdovirinae

Distinguishing features

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.

Subfamily: Gammarhabdovirinae

Genus: Margarhavirus

Distinguishing features

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

Virion morphology is unknown.

Subfamily: Betarhabdovirinae

Genus: Deltanucleorhabdovirus

Subfamily: Betarhabdovirinae

Genus: Betagymnorhavirus

Subfamily: Betarhabdovirinae

Genus: Alphagymnorhavirus

Subfamily: Alpharhabdovirinae

Genus: Uniorhavirus

Distinguishing features

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.
