Lispocephala vitripennis Ringdahl, 1951 is removed from synonymy with L. spuria (Zetterstedt, 1838). There are distinct differences between the two species in the male terminalia, especially in the shape of surstylus. Several other characters separating the two species are listed. Both species have a wide, overlapping distribution in Sweden. Lispocephala serena Collin, 1951, described from England, is considered to be a synonym of L. vitripennis.
