Laugiidae is an extinct family of prehistoric marine coelacanths which lived during the Triassic and Jurassic periods.

[2] They are notable for the extreme temporal disjunction seen between genera; two genera, Laugia and Belemnocerca, are known from the Early Triassic, and another (Coccoderma) is known from the Late Jurassic, leaving a ghost lineage spanning 100 million years between these two time periods.

It has been estimated that the laugiids diverged from the latimerioids & allied taxa (such as the Whiteiidae) during the Early Permian.

[4][5] The Carboniferous genus Synaptotylus was previously included in this family, but is no longer thought to be a member.

[6] Some studies indicate that the genus Piveteauia, known from the Early Triassic of Madagascar and previously considered a member of the Whiteiidae, may actually be a laugiid.
