Oedanomerus Waterhouse, 1875 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae: Tanyproctini) was established for a single species Oedanomerus hirsutus Waterhouse, 1875 from Botswana. Arrow (1936) later described O. longicornis from Zambia and Frey (1960) described O. pilosus from Mozambique. Evans (1987) revised the genus and described O. capriviensis and O. bicolor from Namibia. Finally, Lacroix (2005) described O. snizeki from Zimbabwe, O. squamosus from Botswana, and O. uhligi from Namibia.
奥氏蜣螂属（Oedanomerus）由沃特豪斯于1875年建立（鞘翅目：金龟科：鳃金龟亚科：长角鳃金龟族），模式种为来自博茨瓦纳的多毛奥氏蜣螂（Oedanomerus hirsutus Waterhouse, 1875）。后来，阿罗（1936年）描述了来自赞比亚的长角奥氏蜣螂（O. longicornis），弗雷（1960年）描述了来自莫桑比克的毛奥氏蜣螂（O. pilosus）。埃文斯（1987年）对该属进行了修订，并描述了来自纳米比亚的卡普里维奥氏蜣螂（O. capriviensis）和双色奥氏蜣螂（O. bicolor）。最后，拉克鲁瓦（2005年）描述了来自津巴布韦的斯氏奥氏蜣螂（O. snizeki）、来自博茨瓦纳的鳞奥氏蜣螂（O. squamosus）以及来自纳米比亚的乌氏奥氏蜣螂（O. uhligi）。
