A total of thirteen species are recognized in this genus, including three new species: Cavelerius nigrivena sp. nov. from Thailand and Laos; Cavelerius parvimaculatus sp. nov. from Thailand, and Cavelerius yunnanensis sp. nov. from China: Yunnan. Cavelerius tinctus (Distant, 1903) is newly recorded from China, and Cavelerius antennatus Slater & Miyamoto, 1963 is newly recorded from India: Meghalaya. A key to all known species of Cavelerius is provided.
