We provide a review of species of the genus Dryopomorphus Hinton, 1936 occurring in Malaysia. Three known species: D. bishopi Hinton, 1971; D. satoi Spangler, 1985 and D. hendrichi Čiampor Jr & Kodada, 2006 are diagnosed and five new species from the Malay Peninsula and Borneo are described here: D. grandis, D. jaechi, D. memei, D. pekariki and D. sarawacensis. Habitus photographs, drawings of genitalia and diagnostic characters of all species are included.
