'''''Punctaconchus''''' is a genus of microconchid tubeworms. It was the last genus of microconchids, and the only genus to exist beyond the Triassic. Their tubes have large pores (punctae) penetrating the tube wall. Tubes lumen is covered by ripplemark−like transverse ridges. ''Punctaconchus'' occurs in the Middle Jurassic of England, France<ref name="VinnTaylor2007">{{cite journal|author=Vinn, O.|author2=Taylor, P.D.|year=2007|title=Microconchid tubeworms from the Jurassic of England and France|url=http://www.app.pan.pl/article/item/app52-391.html|journal=Acta Palaeontologica Polonica|volume=52|issue=2|pages=391–399|accessdate=2012-11-24}}</ref> and Poland.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Zatoń|first=M.|last2=Taylor|first2=P.D.|date=2009-12-31|title=Microconchids (Tentaculita) from the Middle Jurassic of Poland|url=http://www.geology.cz/bulletin/contents/art1167|journal=Bulletin of Geosciences|language=en|pages=653–660|doi=10.3140/bull.geosci.1167|issn=1802-8225|doi-access=free}}</ref>
