Abstract
The genus Orientilla Lelej, 1979 is newly recorded from Laos based on O. tamaderai sp. nov. (Xieng Khouang) and O. vietnamica Lelej, 1979 (Vientiane). One additional new species, O. nitens sp. nov. , is described from India (Tamil Nadu). These three species share many diagnostic features within Orientilla , but they are distinguished by the body coloration and shape of clypeus, hypostomal carina, humeral carina, and metasomal terga 1–2. An identification key to females of the genus is provided.
