Fritillariidae is a family of tunicates belonging to the order Copelata.[1]

Genera

Fritillariidae comprises three genera, divided into two subfamilies.[1] While the trunk anatomy differs between the genera, they share a similar arrangement of house-producing cells (oikoplasts) over the midline of the pharyngeal trunk, distinguishing them from the Oikopleuridae.[2]
