Notes on taxonomy

Jules Rambur originally described this genus as Ictinus in 1842. However, at the time there already existed a genus of beetle also named Ictinus described by François Laporte in 1834. In 1934, John Cowley, an English entomologist, renamed this species to Ictinogomphus in deference to Rambur's original name. Cowley is now regarded as the authority, and this genus can be formally written as: Ictinogomphus Cowley, 1934.

Up until recently, species of Ictinogomphus were sometimes considered to be in the family Lindeniidae. Lindeniidae is no longer recognised as a family, and Ictinogomphus is now found in the family, Gomphidae.
