Goniaceae is a family of algae in the order Chlamydomonadales, that includes the genera Astrephomene and Gonium.^[1] Members of the Goniaceae are distinguished from those of the Volvocaceae by having each cell surrounded by a tripartite boundary of the extracellular matrix, as opposed to the entire colony being surrounded by the tripartite boundary in Volvocaceae.^[1] Goniaceae is the sister group to Volvocaceae.^[2]
