Dicraeosauridae

dicraeosaurid
(Huene 1927)

Les Dicraeosauridae forment une famille ou un clade fossile de dinosaures sauropodes néosauropodes placés en groupe frère de la famille des diplodocidés au sein de la super-famille des diplodocoïdes, soit directement selon Sander et ses collègues en 2011 et Wilson et Allain en 2015, soit en s'enboîtant dans les clades intermédiaires des Flagellicaudata et des Diplodocimorpha selon Emanuel Tschopp, Octavio Mateus et Roger B.J. Benson en 2015 et Fanti et ses collègues également en 2015.
