Abstract
The family Artoviridae was created in 2018 for the established monospecific genus Peropuvirus and six new species of invertebrate viruses that had all been discovered by high-throughput sequencing. Artoviruses have negative-sense RNA genomes of about 12 kb and produce enveloped, spherical particles that are 100–130 nm in diameter. Hosts include parasitoid wasps, barnacles, pillworms, woodlice, copepods and odonates. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the family Artoviridae, which is available at www.ictv.global/report/artoviridae.

Spherical particles, 100–130 nm in diameter Negative-sense, unsegmented RNA of about 12 kb Nuclear: the RNA-directed RNA polymerase engages with the ribonucleoprotein complex at the genome 3′-end Individual, putatively polyadenylated mRNAs are translated in the cytoplasm Barnacles, copepods, odonates, parasitoid wasps, pillworms, woodlice Realm Riboviria, phylum Negarnaviricota, subphylum Haploviricotina, class Monjiviricetes, order Mononegavirales
Virion information is not available for other artoviruses, which are only known from genomic sequence data [2, 3]
