Nine species of the genus Mimocolliuris Liebke, 1933 from the Oriental Region, chiefly Indochina, are reviewed and keyed. A new subgenus, Pseudoessora subgen. n. and three new species are described: M. (Mimocolliuris) pilosissima sp. n. from Sumatra, M. (Pseudoessora) tricuspis sp. n. and M. (P.) diluticornis sp. n. from Vietnam. A new subgenus Mimoessora subgen. n. is erected for three little-known species. Oligotypic genus Essora Liebke, 1933 and monotypic genus Asios Liebke, 1933, including three species combined, are briefly reviewed. New synonyms and new combinations are established: Mimocolliuris Liebke, 1933 = Anacasnonia Liebke, 1938; M. pusilla (Andrewes, 1930) = M. insulana Habu, 1979, syn. n., = M. sinuatiphallus Zhao et Tian, 2010, syn. n., = M. astoni Baehr, 2016, syn. n.; M. bakeri (Liebke, 1933) = M. unimaculata Baehr, 2016, syn. n.; Archicolliuris opacipennis (Gestro, 1888) = Mimocolliuris opacipennis, comb. n.; Archicolliuris ranomafanae Kavanaugh et Rainio, 2016 = Essora ranomafanae, comb. n.
