The genus Phyllotrella Gorochov, 1988 presently comprises four described species, P. planidorsalis Gorochov, 1988, P. fumingi Sun & Liu, 2019, P. hainanensis Sun & Liu, 2019 and P. transversa Sun & Liu, 2019. In this study, the results of this genus are based on molecular and morphological features. The molecular result shows that the genetic distance among these individuals from different areas was 0.767%-1.386%. Thus, we consider them as same species. However, based on the similarities and differences of their male genitalia, we suggest treat these species as two subspecies P. planidorsalis planidorsalis (= P. hainanensis syn. nov. and P. transversa syn. nov.) and P. planidorsalis fumingi stat. nov.
该属 Phyllotrella Gorochov，1988 目前包括四个已描述的物种，P. planidorsalis Gorochov，1988、P. fumingi Sun & Liu，2019、P. hainanensis Sun & Liu，2019 和 P. transversa Sun & Liu，2019。在这项研究中，该属的结果基于分子和形态特征。分子结果表明，来自不同地区的这些个体之间的遗传距离为 0.767%-1.386%。因此，我们认为它们是同一物种。然而，根据它们雄性生殖器的相似和差异，我们建议将这些物种视为两个亚种 P. planidorsalis planidorsalis（=P. hainanensis syn. nov. 和 P. transversa syn. nov.）和 P. planidorsalis fumingi stat. nov.
