Metrolytoceras belongs to the ammonoid suborder Lytoceratina, which is typified by having intricate, moss-like sutures, and to the family Lytoceratidae.{{cite web | title= Paleobiology Database - Metrolytoceras | year = | url = https://paleobiodb.org/classic/checkTaxonInfo?taxon_no=15169| access-date = 2017-10-19 }} Its closest relative is Megalytoceras
