The Old World Acridid subfamily Oxyinae is reviewed and redefined. A key is given to the 21 genera now included in the subfamily. Each genus is defined and a list is given of its included species. Of the 169 described species in the subfamily, 125 are regarded as valid. 125 primary types, including those of the genus Oxya, have been examined and as a result 11 new generic synonyms, two new specific synonyms and 25 new combinations are proposed. One new genus is described; one generic name, one specific name and three combinations are revived.
