A brief review of the genus Cryphaeus Klug, 1833 of the Russian Far East is given. Two species occur in this region: C. amurensis (Heyden, 1884) in the Primorsky and Sakhalin regions and C. albopilosus Chûjô et Lee, 1993 in the Primorsky Region (new record for Russia). A new synonymy is proposed: Cryphaeus amurensis (Heyden, 1884) = Anthracias duellicus Lewis, 1894, syn. n. Cryphaeus amurensis was described by Heyden in 1884, but not by Kulzer, 1950 as indicated in the Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera, 2008.
