Two new genera of the subfamily Conoderinae (Zygopinae auctt) are established from the Oriental and Austral Regions under the names of Brimoides gen. nov. and Abrimoides gen. nov. Brimoides includes B. morimotoi sp. nov., B. ceylonensis sp. nov. and B. exilis (Pascoe), comb. nov. from Lobotrachelus, with some unnamed species. Abrimoides is erected for Metetra esakii Morimoto. These genera are tentatively assigned in the tribe Othippiini Morimoto, although the monophyly of this tribe is now under investigation. Taxonomic notes on the Othippiini, a key to genera and biological information are provided.
