Triplax collaris is a species of beetle of the Erotylidae family. This species is found in Europe.[2]

The variety sulphuricollis, named by Reitter in 1887, was sometimes treated as a subspecies or even full species. However, it seems to be a mere color morph with no formal taxonomical standing.[3]
