The type specimen confirms well with the drawings and description of Allodiopsis (Notolopha) tuomikoskii provided by Zaitzev & Maximova (2000), including shape and distribution of setae on the mesoscutum. Tuomikoski (1966) apparently was aware of this species, but in the collections at Finnish Museum of Natural History there are material of both N. brachycera and N. sibirica Zaitzev & Maximova, 2000 mixed under the informal name " subcristata ". As this species by most authors has been synonymized with N. cristata, following Edwards (1924), this represents the first correctly reported record of this species from Sweden after Poppius et al. (1917). Hedmark (2000), however, correctly suggested that N. brachycera possibly could be a valid name for the distinct variant of N. cristata (Staeger, 1840) he reported from northern Sweden.
