Taxonomic Decision for Synonymy
- Spinola, M. 1844. Essai Monographique sur les Clérites, Insectes Coléoptères. Gènes : Ponthenier Vol. 1 pp. 1-386. [283] (Clerus fatuus [tentatively?] and Yliotis punctatus listed in synonymy with Yliotis passerinii)
- Schenkling, S. 1910. Coleopterorum Catalogus. Berlin : W. Junk Pars 23. Cleridae 174 pp. [Date published 29 Nov. 1910] [135] (appears to be the first listing of Platyclerus planatus in synonymy with Pylus fatuus; this synonymy, likely to be based entirely on a figure published by Desmarest/Chenu, is possibly incorrect)
