The mirine plant bug genus Chilocrates Horváth, previously synonymized with Deraeocoris Kirschbaum in the subfamily Deraeocorinae, is restored and transferred to the tribe Mirini of the Mirinae. Two species, Chilocrates patulus (Walker, 1873) and Chilocrates chelonia (Distant, 1904), the only confirmed members of the genus, are diagnosed with respect to color pattern and genitalia, and reported from Bhutan and Nepal for the first time. The following synonymies and taxonomic changes are established: Chilocrates Horváth, 1889 = Shana Kirkaldy, 1902 = Liocoridea Reuter, 1903 = Gismunda Distant, 1904; Chilocrates patulus (Walker, 1873) = Chilocrates lenzii Horváth, 1889 = Shana ravana Kirkaldy, 1902 = Liocoridea mutabilis Reuter, 1903 (including var. nigra Reuter, 1903 and var. testacea Reuter, 1903) = Deraeocoris variabilis Distant, 1904 = Gismunda modesta Distant, 1909 = Lygus szechuanensis Hsiao, 1941 (including var. ruficephalus Hsiao, 1941); and Chilocrates chelonia (Distant, 1904) = Deraeocoris variabilis ‘var. a-d’. Lectotypes of Gismunda chelonia and Deraeocoris variabilis are designated.
