Tevenvirinae is a subfamily of viruses in the family Straboviridae of class Caudoviricetes.[1] The subfamily was previously placed in the morphology-based family Myoviridae, which was found to be paraphyletic in genome studies and abolished in the 2021 International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) classification.[1][2] Bacteria and archaea serve as natural hosts. There are 148 species in this subfamily, included in 14 genera.[2]
