Onychocellidae is a family of bryozoans belonging to the order Cheilostomatida.[1]

Many different descendant species across the world resemble this extinct family. Some examples are N. clarkei and N. cribiforma which can be found in Australia,[2] Floridina stellata and Onychocella ariyalurensis in Southern India,[3] and Onychocella rowei and Onychocella mimosa in Belarus.[4] While this family is extinct, it evolved to form new species that are all over the world and continue to resemble it.
