Kitrinoviricota is a phylum of RNA viruses that includes all positive-strand RNA viruses that infect eukaryotes and are not members of the phylum Pisuviricota or Lenarviricota. The name of the group derives from the Greek word kitrinos, meaning yellow, a reference to yellow fever virus, with -viricota as the suffix for a virus phylum. Four classes are recognised within the phylum: Alsuviricetes, Flasuviricetes, Magsaviricetes and Tolucaviricetes.
