Eight new species of the genus Philotella, i.e. P. pax sp. nov., P. oligotricha sp. nov., P. cedrina sp. nov., P. aliniensis sp. nov., P. amurica sp. nov., P. alba sp. nov., P. pallida sp. nov., and P. caeca sp. nov., are described based on extensive ecological samplings conducted by specialists of the Department of Zoology and Ecology, Moscow State Pedagogical University, in various parts of the Russian Far East. Three previously known species were transferred from the genus Micranurida to Philotella to become P. grana (Lee Kim, 1984) comb. nov., P. porcella (Fjellberg, 1985) comb. nov. and P. japonica (Tamura, 1998) comb. nov. The main diagnostic features of the genus and its differences from the most similar genera of the subfamily Pseudachorutinae are discussed, and a regional key for identifying the Eastern Palearctic species of the genus is given.
基于莫斯科国立师范大学动物学和生态学系专家在俄罗斯远东地区的广泛生态采样，描述了 Philotella 属的 8 个新种，即 P. pax sp. nov.、P. oligotricha sp. nov.、P. cedrina sp. nov.、P. aliniensis sp. nov.、P. amurica sp. nov.、P. alba sp. nov.、P. pallida sp. nov.和 P. caeca sp. nov.。先前已知的 3 个种被从 Micranurida 属转移到 Philotella 属，成为 P. grana (Lee Kim, 1984) comb. nov.、P. porcella (Fjellberg, 1985) comb. nov.和 P. japonica (Tamura, 1998) comb. nov.。讨论了该属的主要鉴别特征及其与拟根切叶蚁亚科最相似属的区别，并给出了鉴定该属东亚种的区域关键。
