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.
