(type species), N. hartmanni sp. n., N. annapurnicus sp. n., N. tamangi sp. n., N. apiensis sp. n., N. weiperti sp. n., and N. silviae sp. n. Pseudoblosyrus gen. n. includes 5 new species: Ps. schmidti sp. n. (type species), Ps. ahrensi sp. n., Ps. hirthei sp. n., Ps. kataevi sp. n., and Ps. salpaensis sp. n. Blosyrodes nigricorporis Mukhopadhyay, 1984 is transferred to the genus Nepaloblosyrus, where a new combination Nepaloblosyrus nigricorporis (Mukhopadhyay, 1984), сomb. n., is made.
