[1] In 2024, Jacobs, Smith & Zouhri described Akharhynchus martilli as a new genus and species of tropeognathine pterosaurs based on this fragmentary specimen.
As every pterosaur from these localities is established based on fragmentary rostral and mandibular remains, detailed comparisons are limited.
[2] In their phylogenetic analyses, Jacobs, Smith & Zouhri (2024) recovered Akharhynchus as a tropeognathine member of the Anhangueria, as the sister taxon to the contemporary Siroccopteryx, which is anatomically alike and similarly fragmentary.
[3] In turn, the clade formed by these genera is sister to one comprising a polytomy of Australian tropeognathines typically referred to as the Mythungini.
[4] The results of their analyses are displayed in the cladogram below:[1] Ornithocheirus Targaryendraconia Hamipteridae Anhanguerinae Coloborhynchinae Thapunngaka Ferrodraco Mythunga Tropeognathus Siroccopteryx Akharhynchus
