Brachytydeus turrialbensis (Baker, 1968)

Type locality: ex debris in Asyndesmus lewis (Gray) nest, 2 miles S of Fort Collins, Colorado (USA).
Holotype: USNM no. 3193 - ♀

Lorryia turrialbensis, original combination and combination used by Kaźmierski (1998: 298–299, 325)
Brachytydeus turrialbensis, subsequent combination used by Silva et al. (2016)

Baker described two turrialbensis, one as Lorryia (Baker, 1968), the other as Tydeus (Baker, 1970).
Baker's slide contains many individuals from the adults to the larva, see the remarks of Kaźmierski (1998: 299).
