Brachyptera braueri ( Klapálek, 1900)

Taeniopteryx braueri Klapálek, 1900: 7 (original description)

Comment. Imagines and larva of this species were described as Taeniopteryx braueri by KLAPÁLEK (1900). KLAPÁLEK (1900) also corrected his redescription of Taeniopteryx trifasciata (Pictet, 1832) ( KLAPÁLEK 1896) to belong to Taeniopteryx braueri . Based on the excellent illustrations and detailed description in KLAPÁLEK (1896), there is no doubt about the identity of the species, but information on the type material and type locality was not given. Nevertheless, all material collected before 1896 included in the Klapálek collection came from Bohemia, so it is reasonable to conclude that the terra typica is Bohemia. The majority of this material was collected in Prague (Vltava river) in 1891–1894, where B. braueri was famous for its mass emergence at that time (see BOJKOVÁ et al. 2011). The remaining material was collected in Veselí (Nežárka river) in 1895. Therefore, it is likely that the species was described based on the material collected in Prague.
