Polia atrax Draudt, 1950 , Mitteilungen der Münchner Entomologischen Gesellschaft 40: 31, pl. 2, fig. 17. Type-locality: China, Prov. Yunnan, Atuntse. Lectotype: male, in coll. ZFMK.

Taxonomic notes. The species includes two geographic subspecies, ssp. atrax (Yunnan) and ssp. vargai Gyulai et Saldaitis, 2017 (Gansu) with slight but seemingly constant differences both in external and genital characters. The bundle of bristles on the left saccular process is already slightly differentiated and the right-sided process is shorter than in other species of this group and also somewhat more obtuse.
