The Golbachia was established by Betrem in 1972 and is distinguished from Campsomeris primarily by morphological characters of the wing venation and male genitalia. The epithet 'wrighti' honors W. W. Wright, Chief Engineer of the Union Pacific Railway survey in the 1860s, a namesake shared with several other insect species described by J. L. LeConte from that expedition.
