 abstract={The milliped genus Brachycybe Wood, 1864 (Platydesmida: Andrognathidae) comprises seven species in the eastern and western United States (two and three species, respectively) and Japan/South Korea and China (onespecies each); it is provisionally assigned to a broad-bodied platydesmid in Taiwan that may constitute an eighthspecies. Brachycybe is characterized by long, alate paranota, distinct dorsal tubercles, and closely proximate opposing legs that are separated by an anteriorly directed process. Species are identified by somatic features like the configurations of the colla, the presence or absence of notches on the caudal paranotal margins, the relative sizes of the tubercles and lengths of the rows, and the relative lengths of the legs; a key and anatomical illustrations facilitate determinations. Distributions are characterized by allopatric populations indicative of age; extreme disjunctions exist in B. lecontii Wood, 1864, and B. producta Loomis, 1936, in the eastern and western US, respectively. The former is projected for the southeastern corner of Kansas and is newly documented from Missouri and Texas; the latter is newlyrecorded from Oregon. Sinocybe Loomis, 1942, is placed in synonymy under Brachycybe, and S. cooki Loomis, 1942,is transferred into the genus; the synonymy of Platydesmus californicus Karsch, 1881, under B. rosea Murray, 1877, is confirmed.},
