Definition: All taxa more closely related to Kingoria nowacki (von Huene, 1942) Cox, 1959, than Myosaurus gracilis Haughton, 1917 , or Cistecephalus microrhinus Owen, 1876 .
Taxonomic comments: Since its initial description by Hotton (1974), the genus Kombuisia has been thought to be closely allied to Kingoria , and King's Kingoriidae included both genera. Recent phylogenetic analyses have upheld this hypothesis (Angielczyk 2007; Fröbisch 2007; Fröbisch & Reisz 2008).
Revised diagnosis: Autapomorphies of Kingoriidae recognized in common by Angielczyk (2007), Fröbisch (2007), and Fröbisch & Reisz (2008) are: (1) mid-ventral plate of vomers relatively wide in ventral view; (2) mandibular fenestra present but significantly reduced.
