Prodissopsalis theriodis was named by Van Valen (1965). It is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Egerkingen, 'aberrant siderolithic facies', which is in a Lutetian/Bartonian fissure fill siderite in Switzerland.

It was recombined as Allopterodon theriodis by Ginsburg (1977); it was recombined as Eurotherium theriodis by Polly and Lange-Badré (1993), Polly (1996) and Solé et al. (2015).
