Genus Bellulia Fibiger, 2008 with 16 species, was previously characterised and subdivided into 9 speciesgroups (Fibiger 2008: 12). Three more species are added here, two from N Vietnam, found in HNHM, Budapest, and one from China South, Hainan Island, sent by Roger C. Kendrick, Hong Kong, for examination and description.

Distribution of Bellulia species is now known to cover a relatively small but disjunct area of tropics from Taiwan and China, Hong Kong in north, to south-east in China, Hainan island, to northern part of SE Asia: Vietnam, southern continental China, Laos, and northern and middle part of Thailand, and westward to Nepal.
