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.
