Phylogeny
Ctenosauriscidae was named by Oskar Kuhn in 1964 to include the genus Ctenosauriscus. It is a stem-based taxon defined by Richard J. Butler, Stephen L. Brusatte, Mike Reich, Sterling J. Nesbitt, Rainer R. Schoch and Jahn J. Hornung in 2011 as "the most inclusive clade containing Ctenosauriscus koeneni but not Poposaurus gracilis, Effigia okeeffeae, Postosuchus kirkpatricki, Crocodylus niloticus, Ornithosuchus longidens, or Aetosaurus ferratus". The cladograms below follows a 2011 analysis by Butler et al., the first based on Brusatte et al. 2010 and the second based on Nesbitt 2011.
