Instead, he considered mixosaurids to belong to a group of their own, while the later latipinnates descended from the longipinnates. He created a new group, Heteropinnatoidea, for 393:

The latipinnate-longipinnate distinction in ichthyosaurs was abandoned as a method of classification since studies such as Appleby's revealed that forefin morphology alone did not always follow trends shown elsewhere in the skeleton. In their 2017 revision of

Appleby assigned an additional four specimens to this species: the partial skeletons BRLSI M3555 and BRLSI M3563, the nearly complete skeleton OUMNH J.13799, and the isolated flipper LEICT G454.1951/164. Appleby included only one specimen in 871:(paired shoulder bones positioned below the scapulae) bear broad notches on both their front and back edges. Both ends of each humerus are about the same width, although the middle of the bone is slightly constricted, as also seen in 561:, many skeletons from historical collections actually represent composites of multiple individuals, and sometimes contain reconstructed parts or were dissassembled then reassembled incorrectly. Many of the original 719:
