Didazoonidae is a vetulicolian family within the order Vetulicolata. It is characterized by a relatively thin-walled, non-biomineralized body and a large, round anterior opening surrounded by an oral disc. It may be paraphyletic, even if the phylum Vetulicolia is monophyletic.

==Description== Didazoonids have an ovoid to subquadrate anterior section divided into six subdivisions marked by five circumventing lines perpendicular to the body axis. Cowl-shaped lateral pouches appear along each side of the anterior section, coincident with the five dividing lines. The anterior opening is large, round, and surrounded by a circumventing oral disc. The posterior section has seven segments, which in some species each carry up to six annulations.
