Abstract: Possession of stridulatory devices (serrated forewing edge and metafemoral
plectra) is suggested as a useful taxonomic character for classification of the
complex group comprising Creontiades Distant, 1883, Megacoelum Fieber, 1858,
Orientomiris Yasunaga, 1997 and an additional superficially similar taxon which
is provisionally called the Orientomiris-group. Three new genera, Muttiocapsus
gen. nov., Nythomiris gen. nov. and Sakaeratiella gen. nov., are proposed to
accommodate two unique undescribed species from the Oriental Region and a known
taxon, Adelphocorisella adelphocoroides Yasunaga, Shishido & Yamada,
2016 from Thailand, respectively. Accordingly, a new combination, Sakaeratiella
adelphocoroides comb. nov., is established. Four new species of Orientomiris
Yasunaga, 1997 from Peninsular Malaysia, Taiwan and Thailand are also
described.
