(type genus: Zherichinixena Legalov, gen.n.) of tribe Metrioxenini Voss, 1953, new genera Pseodorhinotia Legalov, gen.n. (type species: Brentus brunneus Guerin-Meneville, 1838), Tasmanobelus Legalov, gen.n. (type species: Belus pictirostris Lea, 1908), Blackburnibelus Legalov, gen.n.

(type species: Belus sparsus Germar, 1848) of genus Stenobelus Zimmerman, 1999 and new species Zherichinixena nigra Legalov, sp.n. from Sumatra are described. New systematic placements are proposed: Khetana Zherikhin, 1993, placem.n. from family Nemonychidae to family Belidae; Araiobelus filiformis (Germar, 1848), placem.n., A. inconstans (Lea, 1908), placem.n., A. parallelus (Pascoe, 1872), placem.n., A. serpens (Pascoe, 1870), placem.n. and A. tenis (Lea, 1899), placem.n. are transferred from genus Rhinotia Kirby, 1819 to genus Araiobelus Zimmerman, 1994; Stenobelus acaciae (Lea, 1899), placem.n., S. angustata (Lea, 1917), placem.n., S. aphthosus (Pascoe, 1873), placem.n., S. elegans (Blackburn, 1893), placem.n. and S. exilis (Lea, 1917), placem.n. are transferred from genus Rhinotia Kirby, 1819 to genus Stenobelus Zimmerman, 1999. Changes of status: Orthorhynchoides Legalov, 2007, stat.n. is upgraded from subgenus to genus. Resurrected status: genus Orthorhynchus Kirby, 1819, stat.res. 94 new combinations are proposed.
