It was first named in 1960, with ''E. campbelli'' as its type species. Discovery and naming Fossils of ''Eocypridina'' have been described decades before the genus was named. In 1874, a monograph by Jones, Kirkby & Brady was published in which they named the species ''Cypridina radiata'', believing it was most similar to other species of ''Cypridina''. The type series of ''C. radiata'' was collected from the "Upper Coal-measures" of the Airdrie Blackbank Ironstone in Glasgow, Scotland by John Young (professor of natural history), John Young.
