Abstract: The small Southeast Asian ruteline genus Glenopopillia Lin, 1980 is revised. We
describe four new species: Glenopopillia albopilosa Zorn & Lu sp. nov. from
Vietnam, Glenopopillia forceps Zorn & Lu sp. nov. from India, Glenopopillia
mengi Lu & Zorn sp. nov. from China and Laos, and Glenopopillia skalei Zorn
& Lu sp. nov. from Vietnam; and one new subspecies: Glenopopillia rufipennis
nigropicta Zorn & Lu subsp. nov. from Laos; propose two new combinations:
Glenopopillia fossulata (Benderitter, 1929) comb. nov. (from Strigoderma
fossulata Benderitter, 1929) and Glenopopillia klossi (Ohaus, 1926) comb. nov.
(from Spilota klossi Ohaus, 1926), bringing the total number of species group
taxa in this genus to ten. We characterize the genus, provide a key to the
species, describe and diagnose each species group taxon, and compile a
distribution map. A lectotype for Spilota klossi Ohaus, 1926 is designated.
