Abstract
To date monotypic, endemic New Zealand tyrine genus Phormiobius Broun, 1917 (Staphylinidae: Pselaphinae: Pselaphitae) (type species: P. halliBroun, 1917) is revised to include six species, five of which are new: P. brouni sp. nov., P. graceae sp. nov., P. matau sp.nov., P. pseudhalli sp. nov., and P. ramsayi sp. nov. A lectotype is designated for Phormiobius halli. A species-level identification key is provided, and comparative notes on the morphology of New Zealand tyrine genera is included.
