Scenedesmaceae is a family of green algae in the order Sphaeropleales. Scenedesmus algae are commonly found in freshwater plankton. The former family Coelastraceae is considered a synonym of Scenedesmaceae.[1]
The family has existed since at least the Cretaceous period, as evidenced by amber deposits from France containing the genus Enallax.[2]
