*Genus ''[[Omegatetravirus]]''; type species: ''[[Nudaurelia capensis ω virus]]''

This family was divided into three families by the [[International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses|ICTV]] in 2011: ''[[Alphatetraviridae]]'', ''[[Carmotetraviridae]]'' and ''[[Permutotetraviridae]]''.

Tetraviridae was a family of viruses named due to its members having T=4 symmetry and infecting butterflies and moths. The family was dissolved in 2011 due to genetic differences and replaced with three families, each of which still contain the name tetraviridae:[1]
