Abstract—Two new species from northern China, Pissodes cheni sp. nov. and Pissodes pilatsquamosus sp. nov., are described from Pinus and Picea, respectively. Pissodes harcyniae (Herbst) is recorded from China and P. nitidus Roelofs is recorded from Russia for the first time. A key is provided to the eight Pissodes species known from China. A list of the 18 known Palearctic species with synonyms, host data, and distribution is also included. Type specimens for the two new species are deposited in the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China.

Résumé—Nous décrivons deux espèces nouvelles, Pissodes cheni sp. nov. et Pissodes pilatsquamosus sp. nov. vivant respectivement sur Pinus et Picea dans le nord de la Chine. Nous signalons pour la première fois la présence de Pissodes harcyniae (Herbst) en Chine et de P. nitidus Roelofs en Russie. Nous présentons une clé d’identification des huit espèces de Pissodes connues en Chine. Nous dressons aussi une liste des 18 espèces paléarctiques actuelles avec leurs synonymies, leurs hôtes et leur répartition. Les types des deux nouvelles espèces sont déposés à l’Institut de zoologie, Académie chinoise des sciences, Pékin, Chine.
