Bauriamorpha, named by D. M. S. Watson and Alfred Romer in 1956, is a junior synonym of Baurioidea.

Scaloposaurs were characterized by their small size and reduced postorbital bar (a strut of bone behind the eye socket).

Scaloposauria is no longer recognized as a valid taxon because it likely represents juvenile forms of many groups of therocephalians.

The classification of these species is uncertain, as there have been no comprehensive phylogenetic analyses of scaloposaurian taxa.

The validity of many of these species is questionable, as future studies may find some to be synonymous.
