Lathrocordulia was described by Robin Tillyard in 1911.[1] Its family placement has varied in historical classifications, including assignments to Corduliidae and Synthemistidae.[6] It was also treated as incertae sedis within the superfamily Libelluloidea.[7] More recent classifications now place it in the family Austrocorduliidae.[2][3]
