Hungaritids are Middle Triassic in age spanning a range from about 247 Ma to 235 Ma. As of October 2024[update], the Paleobiology Database accepted nine genera:[1]
- Bullatihungarites
- Gevanites
- Hungarites, type genus
- Iberites
- Israelites
- Negebites
- Nodihungarites
- Paraceratitoides
- Perrinoceras
Arkell, et al. 1957, in Part L of the original treatise lists instead: Hungarites, Noetlingites, Longobardites, Neodalmanites, Groenlandites, Perrinoceras, Arctohungarites, Dalmanites, and Prohungarites. Only two have remained, Hungarites and Perrinoceras. Longobardites has been removed as type genus for the Longobarditidae, along with Arctohungarites, Groenlandites, and Noetlingites.
