New diagnosis. Antenna 1, article 3 distomedial margin with medial subapically flagellated seta directed anteriorly and lateral, long, simple seta directed laterally. Thoracic endopod 3 moderately robust, some of the distal articles enlarged. Pleopod 4 of male modified. Uropodal endopod shorter than exopod.

Remarks. Prior to this report, 18 of the 80 nominal species of Heteromysis were assigned to Olivemysis. Based on review of the species lacking subgeneric designations that are presently included in the genus, we here formally add 10 species to the subgenus Olivemysis: H. actiniae Clarke, 1955; n. comb.; H. agelas Modlin, 1987, n. comb.; H. beetoni Modlin, 1984, n. comb.; H. coralina Modlin, 1987, n. comb.; H. floridensis Brattegard, 1969, n. comb.; H. kensleyi Modlin, 1987, n. comb.; H. kushimotensis Murano & Fukuoka, 2003, n. comb; H. siciliseta Brattegard, 1970, n. comb.; H. tuberculospina Modlin, 1987, n. comb.; H. xanthops Ii, 1964, n. comb,.
