Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- Holland stated that Oxypalpus was a manuscript name of Watson's. As will be seen from the immediately following note, Holland's publication of this name only narrowly anticipated its publication by Watson himself. The type-species of this genus is currently treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being congeneric with the type-species (Teniorhinus watsoni Holland, 1892) of the genus Teniorhinus Holland, 1892. The names Oxypalpus Holland and Teniorhinus Holland are thus subjective synonyms of one another. As these names were published in the same paper and on the same date, the relative precedence to be accorded to them depends upon the choice of the First Reviser. This choice was made in 1937 (Cat. Afric. Hesp. Brit. Mus. : 96) by Evans, who gave precedence to Teniorhinus Holland, while sinking the name Oxypalpus as a junior synonym. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
