Taxonomy

Pseudotissotinae was named by Hyatt (1903).

(2008); it was reranked as the family Pseudotissotiidae by Kennedy (1994), Gale et al. (2005), Kennedy and Gale (2016) and Guendouz et al. (2022).

It was assigned to Tissotiidae by Wright (1952) and Reyment (1954); to Acanthocerataceae by Kennedy (1994); to Vascoceratidae by Chancellor (1982), Meister (1989), Kennedy and Simmons (1991), Meister et al. (1992) and Meister et al. (1994); and to Acanthoceratoidea by Gale et al. (2005), Kennedy et al. (2008), Kennedy and Gale (2016) and Guendouz et al. (2022).
