Why it B.repertus:? You have a description

Yes!
Skuhrovec, J., Caldara, R., Stejskal, R., Bahr, F., Trnka, F. & Gosik, R. (2013):
Brachycerinae (Brachycerini, Erirhinini & Tanysphyrini).
SNUDEBILLER: Studies on taxonomy, biology and ecology of Curculionoidea 14, No. 215: 17 pp, CURCULIO-Institute: Mönchengladbach.

However, mine was only a hypothesis.

Brachycerus repertus - differential diagnosis:
1) Median and sublateral ridges of pronotum present and distinct.
2) Elytra with distinct sutural, subsutural, median, sublateral and lateral ridges.
3) Median ridge on elytra continuous, without gaps, minimal to the half of elytra.
4) Median ridge on elytra continuous with distinct small round notches.
5) Lateral ridge on elytra discontinuous, with distinct gaps - as wavy land.

Rechecking the characters I have to correct :
I think it more simply:
Brachycerus muricatus Olivier, 1790
or
Brachycerus plicatus Gyllenhal, 1833
