(2000); it was recombined as Desmoceras latedorsatum by Reyment (1955); it was recombined as Desmoceras (Desmoceras) latidorsatum by Förster (1975), Cooper and Kennedy (1979), Wright and Kennedy (1984), Henderson (1990), Kennedy (1994), Szives (2007), Kennedy and Latil (2007), Kennedy and Klinger (2013), Kennedy (2013), Kennedy and Morris (2018), El Qot (2018) and Gautam et al.
