''Dunsopterus'' may be congeneric with ''[[Cyrtoctenus]]''. ''Dunsopterus'' is known from very fragmentary material, mainly [[sclerite]]s which have little diagnostic potential and are poorly known in ''Cyrtoctenus''. Both genera are only known from remains of very large individuals.<ref name=":0" />
