[2] Argochampsa is based on OCP DEK-GE 1201, a nearly complete skull from the Oulad Abdoun Basin, in the vicinity of Khouribga, Morocco.

[3] Argochampsa had concave depressions on the internal surface of the lacrimal and prefrontal bones, indicating the presence of salt glands.

[4] Hua and Jouve performed a cladistic analysis incorporating their new taxon, and found Argochampsa to be a gavialoid, but outside of the clade Gavialidae.

[2] Argochampsa krebsi was included in the study on the phylogenetic relationships of putative fossil gavialoids published by Lee & Yates (2018).

The authors considered it most likely that Argochampsa was not a gavialoid, or even a crocodylian, but rather a member of the clade of non-crocodylian eusuchians that also included the genera Eogavialis, Eosuchus, Eothoracosaurus and Thoracosaurus.
