Is Iflavirus really a genus of Dicistroviridae ?

[edit]

The article says that Iflavirus is a genus of the family Dicistroviridae, but in view of the following pages, I would think that it is a genus of the family of Iflaviridae :
here (picornavirales.org) and
here (same site).
Now, this page (International Committe on Taxinomy of Viruses) says that , Iflavirus is not assigned to a family. Although, if, on the same site, one searches for "flacherie", one gets the following sequence : Order : Picornavirales; Family : Iflaviridae; Genus : Iflavirus, etc.
On the same site, page Iflavirus, one reads : "A taxonomic proposal has been submitted to the ICTV by the Invertebrate Virus Subcommittee at the meeting in Washington, DC, April 2001, to create a new taxon. The proposal has been discussed and is now approved. The taxon has been designated as Genus Iflavirus in the vicinity of Picorna- and Dicistroviridae".

Does anybody understand ?

No it is not. As an article within the scope of wikiproject: virus, this article follows the ICTV standard. As of the 2014 release, Iflavirus is not a genus of Dicistroviridae. Bervin61 (talk) 14:13, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
