Type-species, Calodia spinocava Nielson 1982: 175

Description. Medium size, slender to robust species. Length male, 5.50-7.50 mm., female 9.70 mm. General habitus similar to Calodia ; aedeagus long, narrow, tubular, glabrous except for short microsetae adjacent to or surrounding gonopore; pygofer sparsely setose; style with short, broad apophysis; subgenital plate glabrous, broadly curved.

Etymology. The name is a combination of the Latin root orbis [= circle or ring] and the suffix - olidia derived from the genus Coelidia . The gender is feminine.

Remarks. Orbisolidia is distinguished from related genera by the combination of setae orbiting the gonopore of the aedeagus and the broadly curved subgenital plate. Two species are known, both from India.
