Schizopetalidae is a family of crested millipedes in the order Callipodida. There are more than 10 genera in Schizopetalidae. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}

The Schizopetalidae subfamily Tynommatinae was recently elevated in rank to family (Tynommatidae), which resulted in the transfer of these 12 genera to the new family: Aspidiophon , Caliactis , Colactis , Colactoides , Diactis , Etiron , Florea , Heptium , Idrionaria , Mexicopetalum , Texophon , and Tynomma . ^[5]
