Cruliviridae is a family of virus in the order of Bunyavirales. Unlike other families in the order, this family is unique in the sense that it is only used to contain crustacean-infecting bunyaviruses.[1]

There have been numerous bunya-like viruses proposed to infect crustaceans such as Crab Haemocytic virus, Roscoff virus, and Mourilyan virus. Only three, Lincruvirus europense, Lincruvirus sinense, and Lincruvirus wenlingense, have been accepted by ICTV.[1][2]
