It was reranked as the subfamily Squalodelphinae by Ginsburg and Janvier (1971); it was corrected as Squalodelphinidae by Muizon (1991), Fordyce and de Muizon (2001), Geisler and Sanders (2003), Barnes (2006), Bianucci and Landini (2007), Whitmore and Kaltenbach (2008), Uhen et al. (2008) and Barnes and Reynolds (2009); it was synonymized subjectively with Hyperoodontidae by McKenna and Bell (1997).
It was assigned to Squaloceti by Dal Piaz (1929) and Van Deinse (1931); to Ziphiidae by Ginsburg and Janvier (1971); to Squalodontoidea by Barnes et al. (1985); to Odontoceti by Pilleri (1985) and Geisler and Sanders (2003); and to Platanistoidea by Muizon (1984), Muizon (1987), Muizon (1991), Muizon (1994), Fordyce and Barnes (1994), Fordyce et al.
