Macrobiotidae is a family of tardigrade. (As of 2023), it consists of the following genera:[2]

  • Biserovus Guidetti & Pilato, 2003
  • Calcarobiotus Dastych, 1993
    • C. (Calcarobiotus) Dastych, 1993
    • C. (Discrepunguis) Guidetti & Bertolani, 2001
  • Famelobiotus Pilato, Binda & Lisi, 2004
  • Insuetifurca Guidetti & Pilato, 2003
  • Macrobiotus C.A.S. Schultze, 1834
  • Mesobiotus Vecchi et al., 2016
  • Minibiotus R.O. Schuster, 1980
  • Minilentus Guidetti & Pilato, 2003
  • Paramacrobiotus Guidetti et al., 2009[3][4][5]
  • Pseudodiphascon Ramazzotti, 1965 (genus dubium)
  • Pseudohexapodibius Bertolani & Biserov, 1996
  • Schusterius Kaczmarek & Michalczyk, 2006
  • Sisubiotus Stec, Vecchi, Calhim & Michalczyk, 2021
  • Tenuibiotus Pilato & Lisi, 2011
  • Xerobiotus Bertolani & Biserov, 1996

The genera Adorybiotus and Richtersius were transferred from Macrobiotidae to a new family, Richtersiidae, in 2016.[2][6]
