A new genus Bucsekia gen. nov., with a type species Wittia yazakii Dubatolov, Kishida et Wang, 2012 from Guangdong (South Chia) is described. The new genus is closely related to Microlithosia Daniel, 1954, and is distinguished from it by presence of a process on the ventral edge of sacculus that is directed basally, and by aedeagus without any processes. A review of related genus Microlithosia is presented; this genus includes: M. shaowuica Daniel, 1954 (the type species) from South-Eastern China, M. nanlingica Dubatolov, Kishida et Wang, 2012 from South China, M. umbripuncta (de Joannis, 1928) from Indochina, M. decreta (Butler, 1877), comb. nov. from Borneo and Thailand; distinguishing characters of all species are discussed.
