  50. Species Polycystis immundus (Schmidt, 1857) Graff, 1905 (uncertain > nomen dubium, Described by Schmidt (1857) on one specimen only. Description does not allow identification. Hence the name should best be considered nomen oblitum.)

  52. Species Polycystis leucophraeus (Fabricius, 1826) Graff, 1905 (uncertain > nomen dubium, Fabricius' (1823) description is the only existing one. It does not allow further identification, hence the name is best to be considered nomen oblitum.)
  53. Species Polycystis papillatus (Mereschkowsky, 1878) Graff, 1905 (uncertain > nomen dubium, To few details on morphology provided by Mereschkowsky to identify the specimen. Would best be considered nomen oblitum.)
