Deletion of type species

[edit]

Hello @Velayinosu: Can you explain what "type species rank abolished" means? "Genus: Hordeivirus - Virgaviridae - Positive-sense RNA Viruses". ICTV (International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses). Retrieved 2021-05-20. Invasive Spices (talk) 18:40, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Invasive Spices: The ICTV has abolished the designation of any species as "type species" as part of the 2020 taxonomy release which was published recently. So for Hordeivirus, Barley stripe mosaic virus was stripped of its status as the type species but still remains in the genus as a species. Hordeivirus, like all other virus genera, now no longer has a type species. Velayinosu (talk) 21:15, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
