the Pterosauromorpha instead or, if the lack of fusion between tibia and fibula is plesiomorphic, even a sister taxon of the Ornithodira. Fabio Marco Dalla Vecchia (2013) stated that he was "unable to find any unequivocal pterosaur features" in the known fossils of F. minima; in fact, according to the author, "the purported humerus is quite unlike the humeri of the Triassic pterosaurs". Dalla Vecchia did not consider Faxinalipterus to be a pterosaur, but did not state what group of vertebrates it belonged to. Faxinalipterus was reinterpreted as an early member of Lagerpetidae by Kellner and colleagues in 2022, who also removed the maxilla from the referred specimens and assigned it to the newly named basal pterosauromorph Maehary.
