There is only one specimen in the collections referable to this name. Edwards (1924) treated it as a good species, larger but close to Brevicornu griseicolle (Staeger, 1840) .

After Edwards (1924) B. canescens has been totally overlooked due to a mixing with B. griseolum (Zetterstedt, 1852) [see below]. It is a large distinct species of Brevicornu Marshall, 1896 where the Cu­fork is positioned slightly beyond the M­fork. Hence, the species is reinstated with its original name and illustrated here as the first correct record from Sweden after the original description.
