Pleuromastigaceae
Scientific classification
Domain:	Eukaryota
Division:	Cryptophyta
Class:	Cryptophyceae

Pleuromastigaceae is an obsolete family of cryptomonads, which included genera Monomastix, Pleuromastix, and Xanthodiscus.

Today, Monomastix is regarded as a green alga, and since 1987 Xanthodiscus is regarded as a synonym of Prorocentrum.[1][2] Pleuromastix remains unclassified as a part of any larger taxon as of 2019.[3]
