Taxonomic Notes:
Proposed as a subspecies of Polyptichus [sic] trilineatus. Synonymized (as ‡costatus) with Polyptychus trilineatus undatus by Clark, 1928, Proc. New Engl. zool. Club 10: 38 (and thus with the nominotypical subspecies - see Clark, 1928, Proc. New Engl. zool. Club 10: 34), who subsequently reinstated it as a subspecies (again as ‡costatus) (Clark, 1935, Proc. New Engl. zool. Club 15: 38). Synonymized with the nominotypical subspecies by Melichar, Haxaire & Manjunatha, 2021, European Ent. 13 (1): 11.
