 "Jurarchaea zherikhini" Eskov, 1987 was previously considered a member of this family, but it is more likely a holarchaeid or a pararchaeid.A 2012 Bayesian phylogenetic analysis of 15 Archaeidae species, using combined molecular and morphological data, produced the cladogram shown below.Species representing modern genera found in Africa and Madagascar ("Afrarchaea" and "Eriauchenius") were not resolved into monophyletic groups; "Zephyrarchaea" had not then been split off from "Austrarchaea".
