Subspecies
Three subspecies of P. lineoocellata are recognized as being valid, including the nominotypical subspecies.
 * Pedioplanis lineoocellata inocellata (Mertens, 1955)
 * Pedioplanis lineoocellata lineoocellata (A.M.C. Duméril & Bibron, 1839)
 * Pedioplanis lineoocellata pulchella (Gray, 1845)

Nota bene: A trinomial authority in parentheses indicates that the subspecies was originally described in a genus other than Pedioplanis.
