Brachygluta

* 

***Brachygluta*** er en gruppe (slekt) av biller som hører til underfamilien køllebiller (Pselaphinae) i den store familien kortvinger (Staphylinidae).

## Utseende
Bittesmå (gjerne 1-2 millimeter), blanke, rødlige kortvinger. Kroppen er pæreformet. Hodet er trapesformet, med små, runde fasettøyne og groper i pannen. Antennene er middels kraftige. Maksillepalpene er lange, det ytterste leddet ganske stort. De ytterste leddene danner en kølle. Pronotum er forholdsvis lite, med rundede sider, bredest omtrent i midten, med runde, dype groper. Dekkvingene dekker omtrent halve bakkroppen, er blanke og kraftig utvidete bakover. Bakkroppsleddene er ganske korte og kan være påfallende innskåret i midten. Beina er nokså lange, leggene litt krumme.

## Levevis
Disse billene lever på fuktige steder, som sumper og elvebredder, og også i maurtuer.

## Utbredelse
Slekten har en holarktisk utbredelse, med flest arter i Europa og Asia.
