The morphological characteristics, taxonomic composition and di erential diagnosis of the subgenus Bradytus and 18 its species in the fauna of Russia are given, for which the distribution is described and a key is compiled. A new species, Amara khasanensis sp. n. from southern Primorskii Territory, is described, distinguished by densely and deeply punctate margins of the pronotum and body underside, the presence of a brush of ne hairs in the distal quarter of the inner edge of the middle tibia of the male and a saccular endophallus with an extensive eld of sclerotized spines on the right wall. Based on examination of the type material, Bradytus armenus Motschulsky, 1844 is transferred from synonyms of Amara ( Bradytus ) apricaria (Paykull, 1790) as a junior synonym of Amara ( Amathitis ) abdominalis (Motschulsky, 1844). The lectotypes of Acrodon uralensis Motschulsky, 1844, Bradytus pallidulus Motschulsky, 1844 and Amara reitteri Tschitschérine, 1894 are designated. Amara macra is rst recorded for Sakhalin Island.
