Platanistidae sunt familia odontocetorum quae Platanistas exstantis cum cognatis exstinctis ex sedimentis Neogenicis effossis continet.[1]

Inia geoffrensis, Lipotes vexillifer, et Pontoporia blainvillei olim inter Platanistidas numerabantur,[2] sed studia cladistica et DNA annis 1990 incipientia monstraverunt haec tria taxa artius cognata cum Delphinoideis quam cum Platanista gangetica esse.[3] Allodelphinidae et Squalodelphinidae, exstinctae odontocetorum familiae, cum Platanistidis arte coniunguntur.[4] Fossilia ex hoc clado in depositis in America Septentrionali Australique, Europa, et Asia Media inventa sunt.[5]
