Note: this species has a complicated nomenclatural history. First, it has often been confused with other species of the genus and thus may appear under the name "rutilans" or "limbata" in the older literature. Second, until recently the valid name was believed to be "dives", because the authorship of "decipiens" had been confused and erroneously attributed to Mannerheim. After clarification of these issues, it is now clear that "decipiens" authored by Gebler is the valid name for this species.

Note: also the generic assignment of this species (and its related species) has a complicated history. The genera Lampra, Lamprodila and Scintillatrix all have the same type species and thus are objective synonyms. Lampra is preoccupied, thus the next younger name Lamprodila is the valid name. Some authors regard the younger names Cinyrsia, Erialata, Mabomisia, Ovalisia, Palmar, Poecilisia, and Zykovisia as separate genera, but this is not adopted here. All these taxa are here regarded as subgenera within Lamprodila.

Additional German names: Großer Weiden-Prachkäfer, Großer Ulmenprachtkäfer, Großer Ulmen-Prachtkäfer.
