Hey @mijiandui,
Yeah, Siphoviridae are not recognized anymore. This family was originally defined using morphological data, but this classification doesn't mirror viral evolution (see here: https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4915/13/3/506/htm).
Most tailed phages in metagenomes actually belong to non-described families, so it is pretty common to have sequences assigned to the class level (Caudoviricetes).
