Tolecusatellitidae
Tolecusatellitidae is a family of biological satellites that is not assigned to any higher taxonomic ranks. The family contains two genera and 131 species.[1] This family of viruses depend on the presence of another virus (helper viruses) to replicate their genomes, as such they have minimal genomes with very low genomic redundancy.
