Platyischnopidae is a family of amphipod crustaceans. Its members are characterised by the conical rostrum which is covered with sensory pits at the end. Although digging behaviour has only been directly observed in a few taxa it is assumed that all the animals in the family Platyischnopidae are fossorial. The genera included in Platyischnopidae are Skaptopus Platyischnopus Indischnopus Tiburonella Eudevenopus Tittakunara Tomituka and Yurrokus.
