Stelpaviricetes is a class of non-enveloped, positive-strand RNA viruses which infect plants and animals.{{cite web|title=Virus Taxonomy: 2019 Release|url=https://ictv.global/taxonomy|website=talk.ictvonline.org|publisher=International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses|access-date=25 April 2020}} Characteristic of the group is a VPg protein attached to the 5'-end of the genome and a conserved 3C-like protease from the PA clan of proteases for processing the translated polyprotein.{{Cite journal|last1=Bosch|first1=Albert|last2=Pintó|first2=Rosa M.|last3=Guix|first3=Susana|date=2014-10-01|title=Human Astroviruses|journal=Clinical Microbiology Reviews|language=en|volume=27|issue=4|pages=1048–1074|doi=10.1128/CMR.00013-14|issn=0893-8512|pmid=25278582|pmc=4187635|doi-access=free}}{{Cite journal|last1=Sochor|first1=Jiri|last2=Babula|first2=Petr|last3=Adam|first3=Vojtech|last4=Krska|first4=Boris|last5=Kizek|first5=Rene|date=November 2012|title=Sharka: The Past, The Present and The Future|journal=Viruses|language=en|volume=4|issue=11|pages=2853–2901|doi=10.3390/v4112853|pmid=23202508|pmc=3509676|doi-access=free}} The name of the group is a syllabic abbreviation of member orders "stellavirales, patatavirales" with the suffix -viricetes denoting a virus class.{{Cite web|title=Proposal: Create a megataxonomic framework, filling all principal taxonomic ranks, for realm Riboviria|url=https://ictv.global/taxonomy/taxondetails?taxnode_id=201907212|last=Koonin EV, Dolja VV, Krupovic M, Varsani A, Wolf YI, Yutin N, Zerbini M, Kuhn JH|website=International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV)|language=en|access-date=2020-05-21}}
