[Note 1: The Catalog of Life and ITIS database (as of June 2025) presents the valid name of this taxon as Lasiopogon drabicolus Cole, 1916 which is an arguably justified amendment of the protonym Lasiopogon drabicolum Cole, 1916, if interpreted as e.g. adjectival then inflected masculine for gender agreement. However, the epithet was elsewhere published in Melander, 1923 (etc) as Lasiopogon drabicola Cole, 1916, which could be argued to have prevailing usage, and for example interpreted as an invariant noun.]

[Note 2: ITIS database (as of June 2025) presents several others with the species epithet altered to a masculine inflection, however in these specified cases the protonym can be interpreted as an invariant noun, and therefore in listing above remain unchanged, from Daulopogon arenicola Osten Sacken, 1877, Lasiopogon monticola Melander, 1923, Lasiopogon ripicola Melander, 1923 and Daulopogon terricola Johnson, 1900]

[Note 3: ITIS database (as of June 2025) includes the following three species; Lasiopogon aridus Cole and Wilcox, 1938, Lasiopogon atripennis Cole and Wilcox, 1938 Lasiopogon carolinensis Cole and Wilcox, 1938 which are all synonyms of others as detailed in Cannings, 2002]
