The lead is it is now is based on the following information:

Nonetheless, the lead is far from NPOV, so I rewrote it a bit. Jalwikip ( talk) 19:07, 3 November 2019 (UTC) reply

At present, the article is listing 18 genera. So Rose can be outdated. But in that case bring a ref. -- Fama Clamosa ( talk) 17:39, 6 March 2013 (UTC) reply

After Johnson & Madden (1997), Synastrapotherium is included in Xenastrapotherium. I see that the list lacks of the species Maddenia lapidaria and have to two genus called Albertograudrya and Albertogaudryia.... I think that are the same thing. Finally, in this article about Parastrapotherium Traspoatherium is a junior synonym of the species Parastrapotherium holmbergi.-- Rextron ( talk) 18:00, 6 March 2013 (UTC) reply

I'm new to mammal dentition and classification, I reworked the classification according to your feedback, but there are still some question marks:

• subfamilies of Astrapotheriidae to be added: McKenna & Bell 1997 (I could only read page 467)
  • Allbertogaudryidae Ameghino 1901
  • Uruguaytheriinae Kraglievich 1928
  • Ablertogaudryinae Simpson 1945
• and genera:
  • Isolophodon Roth 1903
  • Uruguaytherium Kraglevich 1928

I've started Astrapotheriidae and also added a brief note on the lack of consensus. I guess that the classification will have to be rewritten as more fossils are being described. -- Fama Clamosa ( talk) 17:06, 9 March 2013 (UTC) reply

Indeed. And about Isolophus I've find some info, in Spanish. In any case it seems be another tooth taxon.-- Rextron ( talk) 10:49, 10 March 2013 (UTC) reply

It says "Their lophodont molars and tusk-like canines became extremely large..."; is it not the canines alone which became extremely large? Wolf 2024 WolfGreg9 ( talk) 19:13, 28 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Well, the molars of astrapotheres tends to be very large, not as the canines, but definitively they were well developed, specially in the latter species.
