Taxonomic remarks. G. rickmersi is currently considered a junior synonym of G. ferganensis (Harvey 2003) based on Birula (1907) who synonymised Gylippus syriaceus ferghanensis and G. rickmersi but incorrectly prioritises the second name (Harvey 2013).

Collection remarks. The type locality is Bukhara in Uzbekistan. Roewer (1933) also mentiones G. rickmersi in a key and gives the distribution as ‘mountainous regions of East-Turkestan and Bukhara’.

Current systematic position. Gylippidae, Gylippus (Anoplogylippus) ferganensis Birula 1893 .
