This species may be distinguished from Pelectoma fennica as follows : The legs of P. fennica are of the same color as the elytra, and the pronotum is of a darker shade while the legs of P. flavipes, as mentioned, are yellow and the pronotum is of the same shade as the elytra. The specimen of fennica in Mr. Leng's collection is larger than any of the flavipes examined.

Pelecotoma flavipes is a species of wedge-shaped beetle in the family Ripiphoridae. It is found in North America.
