Brachytydeus Thor 1931:102 .

Raphitydeus Thor 1933:54 sensu André 2005 . Lorryia Oudemans 1925: sensu Kaźmierski 1989b, 1996.

Type species: Tydeus cruciatus Koch sensu André (2005) .

Remarks. André (2005) synonymized Lorryia Oudemans and Raphitydeus Thor with Brachytydeus Thor and designated Tydeus cruciatus Koch as its type species, except for Lorryia superba Oudemans, which he retained in the genus Lorryia based on the presence of a single claw on the leg tarsi. The species currently assigned to the genus Lorryia by Kaźmierski (1989b, 1998b) display the same chaetotaxy as T. cruciatus . Presently, more than 200 species are known in this genus. The genus was characterized by having opisthosoma with 10 pairs of setae (ps included); leg setal counts (with solenidia in parentheses): Leg I: 8 (1ω)-3-3-3-1; Leg II: 6(1ω)-2-2-3-0; Leg III: 5- 2-1-2-1; Leg IV: 5-2-1-1-0.
