Olcinia is a genus of bush crickets[1] in the sub-family Pseudophyllinae and tribe Cymatomerini. They are found in tropical forest regions of Indo-China and Malesia.

Olcinia bush crickets are somewhat similar to another Asian genus Sathrophyllia but have relatively wrinkled margin to their forewings. 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.
