The Miltochrista obliquilinea (Swinhoe, 1901) species-group is revised. Four new species are described: M. konta Volynkin, Černý & N. Singh, sp. n. (Thailand, Laos and Vietnam), M. adelfika Volynkin, N. Singh, Černý, Kirti & Datta, sp. n. (India, Myanmar, China, Thailand, Laos and Vietnam), M. stenovalva Volynkin, N. Singh, Černý, Kirti & Datta, sp. n. (India and Thailand) and M. lavides Volynkin, Černý & N. Singh, sp. n. (Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam).
