Type material examined: Syntype Lispe patellitarsis Becker, 1914 , 1♂, TAIWAN Formosa, Anping , May 1912, H. Sauter ( ZMHU) .

Material examined: CHINA, Liaoning prov., Jinzhou, Longqi Bay , 40.888°N 121.222°E, 9–12 August 2014, Xinyu Li, 4♂, 4♀ ( MBFU, ZMUM) . TAIWAN, Formosa, H. Suater, 4♂, 4♀ ( ZMHU) .

Distribution. E Palaearctic: seashores from NE China (Liaoning), Korea and Japan to Taiwan.

Remarks. I found some errors in the redescription of L. patellitarsis given in Zhang et al. (2016): dc: 0+2, not 0+1 (1); ♂ t3 with 1 ad and 1 av, these setae are placed in the apical half of tibia, but they are submedian, not preapical (2); “frontal triangle distinctly broad”—actually frontal triangle narrow (3).

Synonymy. Lispe hirsutipes Mou, 1992 was described from China, Liaoning prov. According to Zhang et al., 2016, they neither got the type specimens from Jinzhou Municipal Health and Anti-epidemic Station, where the type material should be deposited, nor could contact the author. In the MBFU collection there is a series of L. patellitarsis from Liaoning prov., Jinzhou, Longqi Bay, i.e. from the type locality of L. hirsutipes . The only considerable difference between these taxa is that in L. hirsutipes the wing is described as clear at the apical part. Even if so, the wing pattern of the related L. flavicornis shows the same variability: males with either spotted and clear wings being recorded. That is why I regard Lispe patellitarsis Becker, 1914 = Lispe hirsutipes Mou, 1992 = syn. nov.
