Distinguishing features
Among currently classified members of the family, chipolyciviruses are distinguised by the presence of the amino acid triplet ADD instead of GDD in motif VI of the RdRP (Olendraite et al., 2017).

Derivation of names
Chipolyci: from the type species Chironomus riparius virus 1 and polycipivirus.
Species demarcation criteria
Formal species demarcation criteria have not yet been established. ORF5-encoded amino acid sequence identity between isolates and strains of a species is above 90%.
