Asiarcha is a genus of bugs in the family Tessaratomidae. There are three species known from South and Southeast Asia.
Species in the genus have a pronotal shield extending forward with parallel lateral margins; with the angles of the sixth abdominal segment acute and pointing backwards. They are very similar to the genus Mattiphus in which some species were formerly placed.[1] Species in the genus include:[2][3]
- Asiarcha angulosa Zia, 1957
- Asiarcha nigridorsis (Stål, 1863)[4]
- Asiarcha oblonga (Dallas, 1851)
