Glotov, Serhii V., Martynov, Alexander V. & Shavrin, Alexey V., 2022, A catalogue of the types of rove beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) deposited in the collection of Johan Heinrich Hochhuth in the National Museum of Natural History of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Zootaxa 5165 (3), pp. 301-345 : 340

Brachyusa concolor (Erichson, 1839)

( Figs 70a–e )

Material examined. 1 ♂ ( Fig. 70a ; aedeagus in lateral view as in Fig. 70b ; labels as in Fig. 70c ): ‘ T. sulcata K. Hochh. ’, ‘ Lectotypus ♂ Tachyusa sulcata Hochhuth V. Gusarov des. 1991’, ‘ ♂ Brachyusa concolor (Er.) V. Gusarov det. 1991’, ‘Staph 2’; 1 ♂ ( Fig. 70d ; labels as in Fig. 70e ): ‘ Paralectotypus ♂ Tachyusa sulcata Hochhuth V. Gusarov des. 1991’, ‘removed from the lectotype pin V. Gusarov’, ‘ ♂ Brachyusa concolor (Er.) V. Gusarov det. 1991’, ‘Staph 1’.

Remarks. Hochhuth (1871) recorded Tachyusa sulcata Kiesenwetter, 1850 from Ukraine (“…Flüsschen Lebbedj”). Gusarov studied these specimens in 1991, and identified them as B. concolor (Erichson, 1839) , a widespread species in the western Palaearctic Region ( Schülke & Smetana 2015). The designation of the lectototype was the result of a confusion.
