Brachytydeus italicus (Oudemans, 1928)

Tydeus italicus, original combination
Paralorryia italica, subsequent combination used by Baker (1968: 1098)
Lorryia italica, subsequent combination used by Bernini et al. (1995: 37) and Kaźmierski (1998: 310–311)
Brachytydeus italica, incorrect subsequent spelling (gender) used by Silva et al. (2016: 15)
Brachytydeus italicus, subsequent combination used by Thor (1933: 38)

Tydeus aurantii would be a junior synonym according to Thor (1933: 38) and in Oudemans' collection (Buitendijk, 1945: 322) (opinion not followed in this database).

Species listed in Oudemans' collection by Buitendijk (1945: 322).
Redescription from Oudemans' collection by Kaźmierski (1998: 310–311).
The type locality (Breda, the The Netherlands) is doubtful. Oudemans (1928) wrote: "Deze soort is dus vermoedelijk in Italie inheemsch" (see the discussion by Kaźmierski (1998: 311).
