Family: Xinmoviridae

Genus: Ulegvirus

Distinguishing features

Members of the genus are >60% identical in RNA-directed RNA polymerase (RdRP) amino acid sequence. 
 

Species demarcation criteria

There is only one species in the genus. Members of additional species in the genus would be expected to be <66% identical in RdRP amino acid sequence.

Family: Xinmoviridae

Genus: Triniovirus

Distinguishing features

Members of the genus are >60% identical in RNA-directed RNA polymerase (RdRP) amino acid sequence. 
 

Species demarcation criteria

There is only one species in the genus. Members of additional species in the genus would be expected to be <66% identical in RdRP amino acid sequence.

Family: Xinmoviridae

Genus: Pelmivirus

Distinguishing features

Members of the genus are >60% identical in RNA-directed RNA polymerase (RdRP) amino acid sequence. 
 

Species demarcation criteria

There is only one species in the genus. Members of additional species in the genus would be expected to be <66% identical in RdRP amino acid sequence.
 

Family: Xinmoviridae

Genus: Madalivirus

Distinguishing features

Members of the genus are >60% identical in RNA-directed RNA polymerase (RdRP) amino acid sequence. 
 

Species demarcation criteria

Members of different species in the genus are <66% identical in RdRP amino acid sequence.

Family: Xinmoviridae

Genus: Hoptevirus

Distinguishing features
