Annotation:

The Tydeidae fauna of the Altay (Altayskiy Kray and Respublika Altay) is reviewed. A total of nine species of the genus Brachytydeus were found. Among them, Brachytydeus montanus sp. n., B. altaicus sp. n. and B. brevisetosus sp. n. are new to science. Brachytydeus politus (Kuznetsov), B. reticuloinsignius (Kazmierski and Panou) and B. sleipneri (Momen and Lundquist) comb. n. are recorded from Russia for the first time. Brachytydeus arkadiensis (Panou and Emmanouel), B. magus (Kuznetsov) and B. woolleyi (Baker) are reported from Altay for the first time.
