''Dsungaripterus'' was described in 1964 named by [[Yang Zhongjian]]. The genus name combines a reference to the Junggar Basin with a Latinized Greek ''pteron'', "wing". The [[type species]] is ''Dsungaripterus weii'', the [[specific name (zoology)|specific name]] honoring paleontologist C.M. Wei of the Palaeontological Division, Institute of Science, Bureau of Petroleum of [[Xinjiang]]. The [[holotype]] is IVPP V-2776, a partial skull and skeleton from the [[Lianmuqin Formation]].<ref name=Young1964/> In 1973, more material has been found within the [[Shengjinkou Formation]], which includes almost complete skulls.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Young|first1=C.-C.|year=1973|title=Reports of Paleontological Expedition to Sinkiang (II).

In 1980 [[Peter Galton]] renamed ''Pterodactylus brancai'' (Reck 1931) from the [[Tendaguru Formation]] into ''Dsungaripterus brancai'', but the identification is now commonly rejected.<ref>{{cite journal |author1=Martill, D.M. |author2=Frey, E. |author3=Diaz, G.C. |author4=Bell, C.M. |year=2000 |title=Reinterpretation of a Chilean pterosaur and the occurrence of Dsungeripteridae in South America. |journal=Geological Magazine |volume=137 |issue=1 |pages=19–25 |doi=10.1017/S0016756800003502 |bibcode=2000GeoM..137...19M |s2cid=128593191 |url=http://doc.rero.ch/record/14811/files/PAL_E1969.pdf }}</ref> In 1982 [[Natasha Bakhurina]] named a new species, ''Dsungaripterus parvus'', based on a smaller skeleton from [[Mongolia]]. Later, this was renamed into "Phobetor", a preoccupied name, and in 2009 concluded to be identical to ''[[Noripterus]]''. A [[Dsungaripteridae|dsungaripterid]] wing finger phalanx was reported in 2002 from the [[Hasandong Formation]] of [[South Korea]],<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Lim|first1=Jong-Deock|last2=Baek|first2=Kwang-Seok|last3=Yang|first3=Seung Young|year=2002|title=A new record of a pterosaur from the Early Cretaceous of Korea|journal=Current Science|volume=82|issue=10|pages=1208–1210|jstor=24107042 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/24107042}}</ref> and was identified in 2015 and 2018 as ''Dsungaripterus''? cf.
