Abstract: The genus-group name Pseudoxyporus is currently of dubious status. Available facts about the distinctness of the group are presented. The species in the Russian Far East are reviewed based on examination of types and previously unstudied material, the three names include the oldest one in the East Palearctic. Lectotype is designated for Oxyporus dybowskii SOLSKY, 1871. The diagnostic value of the internal sclerites in the aedeagi is discussed. A new species with peculiar colouration is described: Oxyporus (Pseudoxyporus) tessellatus sp. n. (Yunnan, China). Habitus and male genitalia are illustrated for all species. With 25 figures.
