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.
