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'' .
