The Pseudosquillidae are a family of mantis shrimp containing four genera and 11 species.

The telson and sixth abdominal segment are fully articulated and not fused together.

The distal segment of the exopod of the uropod articulates and the moveable spine on the outer margin near its base is not recurved.

The ecoparasitic gastropod, Caledoniella montrouzieri Souverbie comprises the first record for a member of this family.
