Tubpontania nitidinota sp. nov., closely related to T. nudipectus, is described from Fennoscandia. Furthermore, the following North American species belong here: Tubpontania arctophilae (Benson, 1960), comb. nov., Tubpontania populi (Marlatt, 1896), comb. nov., Tubpontania pumila (Rohwer, 1910), comb. nov., Tubpontania rotundidentata (Zinovjev & Vikberg, 1999), comb. nov. and Tubpontania terminalis (Marlatt, 1896), comb. nov.
