The largely Malagasy bark beetle genus Pseudomicracis Eggers, 1920 is revised based on molecular data and morphological studies. Because the type species P. elsae Eggers, 1920 from Tanzania has no intact type material, the diagnosis is fixed using an auxiliary species, P. madagascariensis (Schedl, 1961), which is typical for the genus and supports the original description of P. elsae. Six new species are described from Madagascar: P. atra Jordal, sp. nov., P. coronata Jordal, sp. nov., P. lauricola Jordal, sp. nov., P. pilosa Jordal, sp. nov., P. verrucosa Jordal, sp. nov., and P. vitrioculata Jordal, sp. nov. Mimiocurus camerunus (Hagedorn, 1909) has no existing type material and is transferred from Pseudomicracis based on Hagedorns illustrations of the antenna and protibia. New distributional and host records are given for P. dispar (Schedl, 1961), P. difficilis (Schedl, 1965) and P. madagascariensis (Schedl, 1961). A molecular phylogenetic analysis included 8 of 12 known species, documenting a strongly supported clade of Pseudomicracis species, but with highly uncertain internal relationships. A key and photographs to all Malagasy species are provided.
马达加斯加广义拟天牛属 Pseudomicracis Eggers, 1920 根据分子数据和形态研究进行修订。由于来自坦桑尼亚的模式种 P. elsae Eggers, 1920 没有完整的模式标本，因此使用辅助种 P. madagascariensis (Schedl, 1961) 来固定其诊断，后者是该属的典型代表，并支持对 P. elsae 的原始描述。从马达加斯加描述了六个新种：P. atra Jordal, sp. nov.，P. coronata Jordal, sp. nov.，P. lauricola Jordal, sp. nov.，P. pilosa Jordal, sp. nov.，P. verrucosa Jordal, sp. nov.和 P. vitrioculata Jordal, sp. nov. Mimiocurus camerunus (Hagedorn, 1909) 没有现存的模式标本，根据 Hagedorn 对触角和前腿的插图，将其从 Pseudomicracis 中转移。对 P. dispar (Schedl, 1961)、P. difficilis (Schedl, 1965) 和 P. madagascariensis (Schedl, 1961) 给出了新的分布和宿主记录。分子系统发育分析包括已知的 12 个种中的 8 个，记录了一个强烈支持的拟天牛属种群，但内部关系高度不确定。提供了所有马达加斯加种的关键和照片。
