Brachytydeus

The genus was erected by Thor (1931) with Tydeus cruciatus as the type species. The type species was redescribed by André (2005) in Oudemans’ collection. Synonymized with Tydeus by Baker and Wharton (1952: 191) and by Baker (1965: 99). The genus was not listed by André (1980) and by Kaźmierski (1998a). It was restored by André (2005: 995) and catalogued by Silva et al. (2016: 9). Roughly, Lorryia sensu Kaźmierski corresponds to Brachytydeus (André, 2005: 995 ; Tempfli et al., 2015: 944 ; Akbari et al., 2015a: 424).
