The genus Orientoglypta Kuslitzky, 1973 (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonide, Banchinae) is a small taxon of ichneumonid wasps, comprising only three described species worldwide. Currently, there are no documented host records for any species. Prior to this study, Orientoglypta was poorly documented in China, with only a single species, O. lota, previously reported from Taiwan.
