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.

Competitive fitness in coronaviruses is not correlated with size or number of double-membrane vesicles under reduced-temperature growth conditions. MBio 5: e01107-13. [PubMed]

As only one genus is currently recognized, the genus description corresponds to the subfamily description. The only known host is a fish.
Details correspond to the family descriptions.
Details correspond to the family descriptions.
The subfamily Pitovirinae was established for the virus Pacific salmon nidovirus based on its low overall genome sequence identity with other coronaviruses despite conservation of the canonical replicase domains found in other members of the family Coronaviridae (Figure 1 Pitovirinae).
