(China: Sichuan) and O. taurus spec. nov. (Cambodia) of the O. hauseri group; Orphnebius (Deroleptus) morulus spec. nov. (South Vietnam), O. (D.) globulifer spec. nov. (Malaysia: Pahang), O. (D.) elevatus spec. nov. (Laos), and O. (D.) moruliflavus spec. nov. (Malaysia: Sabah) of the O. siwalikensis group; Keratodegnathus cornutus spec. nov. (Malaysia: Pahang); Amaurodera schmidti spec. nov. (East Nepal) of the A. silvana group; A. brevipennis spec. nov. (Malaysia: Sabah); A. atra spec. nov. (Philippines: Mindanao); Drusilla bispinosa spec. nov. (Malaysia: Pahang); D. shavrini spec. nov. (Philippines: Mindanao); D. penicillata spec. nov. (Philippines: Mindanao); D. spiniventris spec. nov. (Philippines: Mindanao); D. breviuter spec. nov. (Philippines: Mindanao); Pheidologitonetes biplicatus spec. nov. (China: Yunnan); Zyras (Zyras) conlectus spec. nov. (Myanmar); Z. (Z.) hetzeli spec. nov. (Taiwan); Z. (Z.) reductus spec. nov. (Philippines: Mindanao); Z. (Z.) shavrini spec. nov. (Philippines: Mindanao). The following synonymy is established: Drusilla obliqua (Bernhauer, 1916) = D. zyrasoides Dvořak, 1988, syn. nov. Additional records of 49 named species are reported, among them twelve first records from Greece (1), Lebanon (1), Israel (1), Jordan (1), Iran (1), Nepal (1), China (1), Taiwan (1), Laos (1), Cambodia (2), and Borneo (1). The distribution of Myrmoecia urartu (Iablokoff-Khnzorian, 1962) is mapped.
