Viruses of this genus have a mono- or bicistronic genome organization and are distinguished from other hypoviruses based on polyprotein-derived phylogenetic trees.
See family description
In general, bicistronic, positive-sense RNA genomes of 12.4 kb to 14.4 kb.

There is only one genus in the family.
95% global genome identity is used as a species demarcation criterion, consistent with the thresholds used for other prokaryotic viruses.
