A review of five species of the genus Poecilagenia Haupt, 1927 and the key to the Russian species are given. P. rubricans (Lepeletier, 1845) is redescribed and newly recorded from the Russian Far East (Primorskii krai). P. sculpturata (Kohl, 1898) is newly recorded from Khabarovskii krai. A catalogue of 22 species and one subspecies of the genus is given and one species is excluded from Poecilagenia. Ten new combinations are proposed: Poecilagenia gracilis (Haupt, 1959), comb. n. (from Meragenia), P. imitator (Ashmead, 1905), comb. n. (from Meragenia), P. imitator clara (Banks, 1934), comb. n. (from Meragenia), P. nigra (Arnold, 1959), comb. n. (from Trachyglyptus), P. nigripes (Banks, 1934), comb. n. (from Meragenia), P. obumbrata (Haupt, 1959), comb. n. (from Meragenia), P. procera (Haupt, 1959), comb. n.

New synonymy is proposed: Machaerothrix coactifrons Haupt, 1938, female = Poecilagenia sinensis Wahis, 1970, male, syn. n. Lectotype is designated for Trachyglyptus niger Arnold, 1959.
