The Planispirillinidae are a family of living Foraminifera[http://www.cladocera.de/protozoa/cavalier-smith_2004_prs.pdf Only Six Kingdoms of Life] Cavalier-Smith, 2004 and the only one of the Involutinida now living.
The included genera are characterized by asymmetrical, semi-involute to partially evolute, aragonitic tests consisting of an undivided planispiral or trochospiral tubular chamber wound about the proloculus, or initial chamber. The umbilical region on one or both sides is filled with lamellae. The aperture is a simple opening and the end of the tube.[http://www.gsi.ir/General/Lang_en/Page_48/SubOrderId_1399/SuperFamilyId_/FamilyId_1430/Action_FamilyView/PLANISPIRILLINIDAE.html Family Planispirillinidae] in Loeblich & Tappan 1988, GSI e-book
The genera Alanwoodia and Planispirillina are included in the Spirillinidae in the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, Part C, 1964. The other two were added subsequent to publication.
