We revisit the filamentary structures of galaxies around the Virgo cluster,exploiting a larger dataset based on the HyperLeda database than previousstudies. In particular, this includes a large number of low-luminositygalaxies, resulting in better sampled individual structures. We confirm sevenknown structures in the distance range 4~$h^{-1}$~Mpc~$<$ SGY~$<$ 16~$h^{-1}$Mpc, now identified as filaments, where SGY is the axis of the supergalacticcoordinate system roughly along the line of sight. The Hubble diagram of thefilament galaxies suggests they are infalling toward the main-body of the Virgocluster. We propose that the collinear distribution of giant ellipticalgalaxies along the fundamental axis of the Virgo cluster is smoothly connectedto two of these filaments (Leo~II~A and B). Behind the Virgo cluster(16~$h^{-1}$~Mpc~$<$ SGY~$<$ 27~$h^{-1}$~Mpc), we also identify a new filamentelongated toward the NGC 5353/4 group ("NGC 5353/4 filament") and confirm asheet that includes galaxies from the W and M clouds of the Virgo cluster ("W-Msheet"). In the Hubble diagram, the NGC 5353/4 filament galaxies show infalltoward the NGC 5353/4 group, whereas the W-M sheet galaxies do not show hintsof gravitational influence from the Virgo cluster. The filamentary structuresidentified can now be used to better understand the generic role of filamentsin the build-up of galaxy clusters at z~$\approx$~0.
