1107:"Waeringopteridae" and the superfamily that includes it, "Waeringopteroidea" (named after eurypterid researcher Erik N. Kjellesvig-Waering), are not formally published clades. The names derive from a 2004 thesis by O. Erik Tetlie and are as such not actually technically valid names. Nevertheless, as phylogenetic analyses confirms the grouping as monophyletic and the names supply an easy way to refer to the group, they remain routinely used within studies centered around eurypterid taxonomy. In these studies, the names are usually within quotation marks and/or are noted to not be properly valid names that derive from a thesis. The group is also sometimes referred to as the "waeringopteroid clade" rather than as the "Waeringopteroidea" within studies to differentiate it from the properly described superfamilies, pending the formal publication of Waeringopteroidea. 1165: 135: 1996: 451: 2299: 113: 1133:, is known from outside of Laurentia and it is thus assumed that the group originated in Laurentia before they spread to modern-day Germany in the Devonian. Further fossil finds are required to properly study the distribution and evolutionary history of the group. The temporal range of the group extends from the 437:
Although confirmed by phylogenetic analyses as monophyletic, and routinely used within eurypterid taxonomy, "Waeringopteroidea" and "Waeringopteridae" are as of yet not formally published clades, the names instead deriving from a 2004 thesis by O. Erik Tetlie. Some researchers refer to the group more

Although waeringopterid fossils remain rare and in most cases fragmentary and very little concrete information on the group can confidently be established due to the poor fossil record, the waeringopterid eurypterids are joined by a handful of known features shared by all genera within the group.
