Pseudoniscidae is an extinct family of synziphosurine chelicerates that lived in the Silurian. Pseudoniscidae is classified inside the clade Planaterga, alongside Bunodidae and Dekatriata (chasmataspidids, eurypterids and arachnids).[1] Pseudoniscidae is composed by two genera, Cyamocephalus and Pseudoniscus (the type genus).[2][1][3]
