Taxonomy

Crioceratitinae was named by Wright (1952). Its type is Crioceratites.

It was corrected as Crioceratinae by Reboulet (1996); it was misspelled as Crioceratinae by Cantu-Chapa (1962), Klinger and Kennedy (1992); it was reranked as the family Crioceratitidae by Wright (1952), Klein et al. (2007), Bert et al. (2021).

It was assigned to Crioceratitaceae by Wright (1952); to Ancyloceratidae by Cantu-Chapa (1962), Klinger and Kennedy (1992), Reboulet (1996); to Ancyloceratoidea by Klein et al. (2007); and to Perisphinctoidea by Bert et al. (2021).
