Conchoecia is a genus of ostracods in the subfamily Conchoeciinae.

The genus contains bioluminescent species. [1] Conchoecia have a coelenterazine luciferin based bioluminescent system, unlike the cypridinid luciferin based system found in the Cypridinidae. [2]

Species

The following species are recognised in the genus Conchoecia:
