Brachypterus autumnalis Gistel, 1857: 574 [62].

Type material. NEOTYPE: ♀, ‘Bayr. Alpen / Osterseegebiet / Anf. IX. 1969 // Gesiebe von / Riedgräsern / leg. Wellschmied // Brachypterolus / linariae (Steph.) / (= cornelii Sp.) / det. Spornraft 75 // Neotypus / Brachypterus / autumnalis Gistel, 1857 / des. Jelínek & Audisio, 2007’.

Character ‘…pronoti angulis posticis rectis, acutis…’ indicates the appurtenance of the species to the genus Brachypterolus Grouvelle, 1913 . We therefore consider Brachypterus autumnalis as a junior synonym of Brachypterolus linariae ( Stephens, 1830) , which is the most common Brachypterolus species in Central Europe.
