Viruses belonging to the species Rhinovirus C (formerly named Human rhinovirus C) are distinct from RV-A and RV-B. These viruses have been referred to as HRV-A2 (Arden et al., 2006; McErlean et al., 2007) due to its closer relationship with RV-A in some analyses, while others have called them HRV-C (Lamson et al., 2006; Lau et al., 2007; Lee et al., 2007; McErlean et al., 2008) or HRV-X (Kistler et al., 2007).

Proposals for the designation of RV-C types have been published (Simmonds et al., 2010; McIntyre et al., 2013).

There are now 57 RV-C types (C1-C57) designated.
