It belongs to the parent taxon Paenungulata and is governed by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. The order was described in the Encyclopædia Britannica 11th edition. Common names for the group include hyraxes, klippegrevlinger, klipdasachtigen, and Kletterschliefer.
The order originated about 56 million years ago. Biological records for Hyracoidea are held by institutions including NHMUK, UCMP, and YPM. These records originate from countries such as Libya, South Africa, and Egypt.
