[2] Dorosuchus was considered to be a relative of euparkeriid Euparkeria based on the features of the limbs and pelvic girdle.

Limb and hip elements, sacral and caudal vertebrae, and a braincase are preserved in the block and represent four individuals.

[2] The family Euparkeriidae is best represented by the genus Euparkeria from the Early Triassic of South Africa.

However, most of these genera have been excluded from the family on the basis of anatomical features such as those found in the ankle (e.g. Turfanosuchus and Wangisuchus) or are known from specimens that are too poorly preserved to offer many features that could include them within the family (e.g. Halazbaisuchus and Wangisuchus).

Doubts have also been raised about the assignment of Dorosuchus to the family Euparkeriidae because of a lack of defining characteristics.
