Tolecusatellitidae is a incertae sedis ssDNA/ssDNA(+) family of biological satellites.

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.

[2] The name Tolecusatellitidae is a combination of Tolecu, from the first DNA satellite shown to be associated with Tomato leaf curl virus and satellite, the fact that it is a satellite.
