Abstract

The Asian euophryine genus Orcevia Thorell, 1890 is revised, and fifteen new species from southern China and Southeast Asia are described: Orcevia bokoblin Yu, Maddison & Zhang, sp. nov. (♂♀), O. calcicola Yu, Maddison & Zhang, sp. nov. (♂♀), O. deelemanae Yu & Zhang, sp. nov. (♂♀), O. feitongae Yu & Zhang, sp. nov. (♂♀), O. gongae Yu & Zhang, sp. nov. (♂), O. jinping Yu & Zhang, sp. nov. (♂♀), O. meinei Yu, Maddison & Zhang, sp. nov. (♂♀), O. mercuryi Yu, Maddison & Zhang, sp. nov. (♂♀), O. nietzschei Yu, Maddison & Zhang, sp. nov. (♂♀), O. pakse Yu & Zhang, sp. nov. (♂), O. shuyuani Yu & Zhang, sp. nov. (♂♀), O. timburtoni Yu, Maddison & Zhang, sp. nov. (♂♀), O. wuliang Yu & Zhang, sp. nov. (♂♀), O. yahaha Yu, Maddison & Zhang, sp. nov. (♂♀), O. zabkai Yu, Maddison & Zhang, sp. nov. (♂♀) and O. zu Yu & Zhang, sp. nov. (♂♀). Three new combinations and one new synonym are proposed: Orcevia sokoli (Prószyński & Deeleman-Reinhold, 2013) comb. nov. (transferred from Echeclus Thorell, 1890), O. sica (Wu & Yang, 2008) comb. nov. (=Laufeia longapophysis Lei & Peng, 2012 syn. nov.; transferred from Laufeia Simon, 1889), and Magyarus terrestris (Logunov, 2021) comb. nov. (transferred from Orcevia). The previously unknown females of Orcevia sica (Wu & Yang, 2008) comb. nov. and O. proszynskii (Song, Gu & Chen, 1988) are described. O. perakensis (Simon, 1901) is herein listed as a species inquirenda.
