- Authority for current placement: Norton & Behan-Pelletier, 2009: 456 ('The placement of TUMEROZETIDAE and NODOCEPHEIDAE is problematic; they were included in Cepheoidea by Subias (2004), but we retain them in the Polypterozetoidea pending discovery of their immatures')
  - undisputed by all subsequent authorities
- Type genus: Nodocepheus Hammer, 1958
