A new genus Orientis has been described on the basis of species O. montanus sp. nov. collected from the Himalayan region of North India. It is very close to Anaissus Candeze, but differs in the number of mesothoracic sclerites taking part in the formation of mesocoxal cavity, shape of distal extremities of elytrae and in the absence of basal setae on claws.
