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.
