Oligobombus cuspidatus was described by Antropov in 2014 from the Insect Bed of the Bembridge Marls in the late Eocene of the Isle of Wight, England. The fossil was described by re-examining a specimen in the Smith Collection. The collection was originally made by A'Court Smith, and purchased by the Natural History Museum in 1877 and 1883.
