Taxonomic remark From Silva & Gallo, 2011: Goody (1969) ranked Apateodus as an addendum (incertae sedis) to the Ichthyotringidae with a single species (A. striatus Woodward, 1901). Nelson (1994, 2006) placed Apateodus in Apateopholidae, but he did not report the taxonomic status of Apateopholis. In Frickhinger (1995), the latter was considered anichthyotringid and the former was not mentioned. Forey et al. (2003) positioned Apateopholis in the family Ichthyotringidae. Taverne (2004) maintained Apateodus and two other genera of Cretaceous alepisauroids (Yabrudichthys and Rharbichthys ) as family incertae sedis. However, the same author (Taverne 2006c) suggested to exclude Apateodus from Ichthyotringidae. Fielitz and González Rodríguez (2008) accomplished a cladistic analysis of Ichthyotringoidea and placed Apateodus tentatively among the species of Ichthyotringa. More recently, Fielitz and Shimada (2009) described a new species of Apateodus (A. busseni ) suggesting that the genus needs revision, but ranking it in Ichthyotringidae. [details]

Taxonomic remark From Silva & Gallo, 2011: Goody (1969) ranked Apateodus as an addendum (incertae sedis) to the Ichthyotringidae with a single species (A. striatus Woodward, 1901). Nelson (1994, 2006) placed Apateodus in Apateopholidae, but he did not report the taxonomic status of Apateopholis.
