Type species. Ormiscus variegatus G. R. Waterhouse, 1845, by monotypy.

Generic diagnosis. Ormiscus can be distinguished from Trigonorhinus by the quadrate rostrum. It can be distinguished from Eusphyrus by the antebasal transverse pronotal carina that is incapable of reaching the elytra base, and by the pronotal hind angles that are not projecting laterad the elytral humerae. Ormiscus can be distinguished from most other anthribids by having separate lobes on the 3 rd tarsomeres, notched eyes, small size, and by the quadrate rostrum.
