Cetotheriidae bale bizardunen familia bat da.[1] Oro har, familia hori Oligozeno berantiarraren artean egon zela pentsatu izan da, Pleistozenoa hasi arte, desagertu baino lehen. Hala ere, Fordycek eta Marxek 2013an egindako azterketa filogenetikoek adierazten dute Caperea marginata espeziea familietako kide bat dela; emaitza horiek berretsiz gero, familia taxon biziduna izango litzateke.[2]
