Registration: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:9716672B-0706-4582-9C8D-A056E53324CC
Etymology: Zealosphargis is derived from Zealo-, referring to Zealandia, the continental landmass that includes present-day New Zealand, where the fossil was discovered; and -sphargis, from the Greek sphargis (), meaning leatherback turtle, used historically in generic names such as Sphargis Merrem, 1820 (junior synonym of Dermochelys Blainville, 1816), and Eosphargis Lydekker, 1889.
It was assigned to Uelocini by Gentry et al. (2025).
