Short description: Genus of crustaceans

Brandtia is a monotypic genus of amphipod in the Acanthogammaridae family, containing the species Brandtia latissima.^[1] Like other members of the family, it is endemic to Lake Baikal.^[2] This omnivore is found at depths of 1–65 m (3–213 ft) among stones. It is up to 1.9 cm (0.75 in) long.^[2]

D. parasitica, which traditionally has been considered a parasite of Lubomirskiid sponges (gut analyses have shown that it is not^[2]), was formerly placed in Brandtia, but it has been moved to Dorogostaiskia.^[3] Other species formerly placed in Brandtia have been moved to Gmelinoides (G. fasciatus and G. fasciatoides).^[1]
