## Proposed reclassification

Some authors, Lucas, Mothé, Avilla et al., propose a reclassification of the South American gomphotheres as follows:
* Stegomastodon (Pohlig, 1912) is an exclusively North American genus
* Haplomastodon (Hoffstetter 1950) is a South American genus, but synonymous with Notiomastodon (Cabrera 1929)
* as Notiomastodon was defined earlier, all Haplomastodon species should be considered part of Notiomastodon
* all formerly described species as Stegomastodon sp., Haplomastodon sp. and Notiomastodon sp. belong to a single species; Notiomastodon platensis
* Cuvieronius is the only remaining South American genus outside of Notiomastodon, containing the single local species C. hyodon
Other researchers as Labarca, Prado and Alberdi agree with the placement of species into Notiomastodon, but reject the idea of a single species. They continue to use Stegomastodon waringi for South American gomphotheres from Chile.

### Evolution

* Lucas (2010, 2013) proposes that Notiomastodon evolved from Cuvieronius inside South America
* Mothé et al. (2012, 2015, 2016) propose that Notiomastodon and Cuvieronius reached South America in two separate migration waves
