In their original description of
Chilenophoberus, Chong & Förster (1976) recognized the taxon as a relative to
Pseudastacus and
Palaeophoberus, placing it in the
family Nephropidae (which the latter two genera were also placed in at the time). In 2013, Karasawa
et al. declared that Chilenophoberidae was a
paraphyletic grouping, with
Stenochiridae nested within. Because Stenochiridae was named first, this name took priority and Chilenophoberidae became a
junior synonym of it. The following
cladogram shows the placement of
Chilenophoberus within Stenochiridae according to the study: }} }} }} ==References==
