Pontocyprididae is a family of ostracods belonging to the order Podocopida.

Abyssocypris and Argilloecia genra include strong antennas, short claw like swimming setae, and small caudal ramus.

Other genras include slender antennas, long and thin swimming setae, and caudal ramus.

[2] Pontocyprididae are ecology diverse as they live in deep oceans, interstitial waters (water that occurs naturally within the pores of a rock), and echinoderms.
