Brachypauropodidae is a family of pauropods.[1] Pauropods in this family feature an entire first tergite, but at least the next three tergites are each divided into four to six sclerites, and the pygidial sternum has two or three pairs of setae.[1][2] Like most adult pauropods in the order Tetramerocerata,[3] most adults in this family have 9 pairs of legs, but adults in a few species in two genera, Aletopauropus and Zygopauropus, have only 8 pairs of legs.[2][4] This family has a nearly worldwide distribution and is found on all continents except South America and Antarctica.[4][1][2]
