Platyctenidae is a family of ctenophores belonging to the order Platyctenida.{{cite web |title=Platyctenidae |url=https://www.gbif.org/species/4289814 |website=www.gbif.org |access-date=8 June 2021 |language=en}}WoRMS: [http://marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=106330 Platyctenidae]

Formerly, Tjalfiella Mortensen was classified in this familyTaku Komai: [https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/pjab1912/17/6/17_6_216/_pdf/-char/en 49. A New Remarkable Sessile Ctenophore]. Proceedings of the Imperial Academy. 17(6): 216-220. Institute of Zoology, Kyoto Imperial University, June 12, 1941.

but appears now to be a member of ist own family Tjalfiellidae.WoRMS: [http://marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=264871 Tjalfiellidae Komai, 1922]

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. Therefore it remains unclear if Platyctenidae might be a synonym of Tjalfiellidae.
