The species of Arocatus Spinola, 1837 from Palaearctic and Oriental Regions are reviewed. The following taxonomic changes are proposed: one new combination: Arocatus nicobarensis (Mayr, 1865), new combination (transferred from Caenocoris Fieber, 1860); three new synonymies: Arocatus nanus (Breddin, 1900) = A. aurantium Zou & Zheng, 1981, new synonymy; A. sericans (Stal, 1859) = A. continctus Distant, 1906, new synonymy = Caenocoris dimidiatus Breddin, 1907, new synonymy. Arocatus pseudosericans, new species, is described from China and Japan. Arocatus melanocephalus (Fabricius, 1798) is reported from China, A. nanus (Breddin, 1900) from Cambodia, India, Laos and Thailand, and A. sericans (Stal, 1859) from Vietnam and Ethiopia for the first time. A diagnosis of the genus, a key to all the species, habitus photos and male genitalia illustrations of selected species are presented.
