Order:	Platyctenida
Family:	Platyctenidae

Platyctenidae is a family of ctenophores belonging to the order Platyctenida.^[1]^[2]

Formerly, Tjalfiella Mortensen was classified in this family^[3] but appears now to be a member of ist own family Tjalfiellidae.^[4] World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) does not list any (remaining) members of the family (as of Nov. 2021), though indicating it as validly published.^[2] Therefore it remains unclear if Platyctenidae might be a synonym of Tjalfiellidae.
