Diagnosis of genus Parallelomma and species, recorded in Russia and a key to these species are given. Results of study of type-specimens and to regard to such specimens of the following species: Cordylura vittata Meigen, 1826, Parallelomma media Becker, 1894, Parallelomma paridis Hering, 1923, Chylizosoma sasakawae Hering, 1955 and Chylizosoma hostae Hering, 1955 are considered.
