Kellia porculus Pilsbry, 1904, is recorded for the first time in the Russian waters of the Sea of Japan along the coast of Primorye (Valentin, Olga, Rynda bays and Tatarsky Strait). An updated description, photographs, synonymy, data on biology and distribution are provided. Taxonomic comments on seven other north-western Pacific species of Kellia Turton, 1822 are given, along with illustrations of type material, for K. japonica Pilsbry, 1895, K. laperousii (Deshayes, 1839), K. subrotunda (Dunker, 1882), K. comandorica Scarlato, 1981, and K. grebnitzskii (Dall, 1916). K. subrotunda is confirmed as a distinct species and it is recorded in China (Yellow Sea) for the first time previously being known only from Japan. K. grebnitzskii is regarded as a valid species and reinstated as such for Russian waters.
