It was originally placed within family Manidae, but was eventually removed from it as more fossil pholidotids from outside that family were found and studied more extensively (i.e., with the discovery and study of Eomanis and Patriomanis).

[5] Currently, Necromanis is placed as incertae sedis within the pholidotid superfamily Manoidea, together with the families Manidae and Patriomanidae.

A new fossil humerus attributed to N. franconica from Quercy, France lead researchers to reaffirm Teutomanis quercyi's status as distinct from Necromanis.
