Eudimorphodontidae is an

Raeticodactylus filisurensis while the Raeticodactylinae includes all taxa more closely related to Raeticodactylus filisurensis than to Eudimorphodon ranzii.^[6] More recently, Raeticodactylus and Caviramus were moved into their own family, Raeticodactylidae. The below cladogram follows that analysis.^[7]

Eopterosauria

Preondactylia

	Preondactylus buffarinii

	Austriadactylus cristatus

Peteinosaurus zambellii

Eudimorphodontoidea

Raeticodactylidae

	Raeticodactylus filisurensis

	Caviramus schesaplanensis

Eudimorphodontidae

Arcticodactylus cromptonellus

	Carniadactylus rosenfeldi

	Eudimorphodon ranzii

In 2020 however, a study upheld by Matthew G. Baron about early pterosaur interrelationships found no evidence to support the existence of the clade Eopterosauria (the clade of which eudimorphodontids might also belong to) as an early diverging clade within the Pterosauria. He additionally found no evidence to support a monophyletic Eudimorphodontidae, therefore, he sunk both Arcticodactylus and Carniadactylus within a clade he called Caviramidae, and found Eudimorphodon to be the sister taxon of the Novialoidea.^[8]
