Olcinia is a genus of bush crickets in the sub-family Pseudophyllinae and tribe Cymatomerini. They are found in tropical forest regions of Indo-China and Malesia.
==Description== Olcinia bush crickets are somewhat similar to another Asian genus Sathrophyllia but have relatively wrinkled margin to their fore-wings. They typically have cryptic colouration and likewise sit close to branches of trees and bushes, spreading their legs and antennae along the branch, close to the surface to provide camouflage.
