Abstract: Physoronia taiwanensis sp. n. (Taiwan) and Physoronia intermedia sp. n. (Russian Far East) are described. New synonymy for the taxa Physoronia Reitter, 1884 (= Lordyrodes Reitter, 1884, syn. n., Pocadioides Ganglbauer, 1899, syn. n.) as well as for Pocadioides gracilis Jelínek, 1978 (= Lordyrodes kaszabi Kirejtshuk, 1984, syn. n.) is established. Kryzhanovskiella gen. n. is proposed for Atarphia aequilibris Kirejtshuk, 1986 and Atarphia pecki Kirejtshuk, 1986 (type species). Placement of Omositoides Schaufuss, 1892 in the Pocadius complex of genera is discussed. With 16 figures.
