The name Dolichopus lepidus was declared a nomen protectum, so it has precedence over the senior synonym Dolichopus tibialis (a nomen oblitum).[3]

Dolichopus microstigma Stackelberg, 1930 was originally described as a variation of D. lepidus, and was later considered a subspecies of the species,[3] but it is now considered a separate species.[8]
