Abstract In 2018, the family Arenaviridae was expanded by inclusion of 1 new genus and 5 novel species. At the same time, the recently established order Bunyavirales was expanded by 3 species. This article presents the updated taxonomy of the family Arenaviridae and the order Bunyavirales as now accepted by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) and summarizes additional taxonomic proposals that may afect the order in the near future. Introduction In addition, the family Fimoviridae was created to accom- modate the previously “free-foating” plant virus genus The family Arenaviridae was established in 1976 to accom- Emaravirus, which was expanded by three species for newly modate predominantly murid viruses with bisegmented, discovered plant viruses [5, 6, 26] (TaxoProps 2016.016aP, ambisense single-stranded RNA genomes that form envel- 2016.017aP, 2016.018aP, and 2016.030a-vM).
