Abstract The New World species of the staphylinid subfamily Oxyporinae are revised. Only one genus, Oxyporus Fab., with two subgenera, is included in the subfamily. The genus Pseudoxyporus , described by Nakane and Sawada (1956), has been reduced to subgeneric rank. Sixteen species are included in the revision. Two new species, O . bierigi from Costa Rica and Panama, and O . balli from Mexico are described; two names are placed in synonymy [ O . fasciatus Melsh. (= O . vittatus Grav.) and O . fenyesi Bernhauer (= O . mexicanus Fauvel)]; and two names are reduced to subspecific level [ O . bicolor Fauvel (= O . vittatus bicolor ) and O . austrinus Horn (= O . femoralis austrinus )]. All of the New World species and subspecies have been redescribed and illustrated, and a key has been included for the separation of all the taxa.
