The large, widespread, primarily Asian genus Hyleoglomeris Verhoeff, 1910 is reviewed. All of its 64 currently known species are keyed, including six new species: H. maculata n. sp., H. reducta n. sp. and H. eusulcata n. sp., from caves in southern China; H. speophila n. sp., from a cave in northern Vietnam; and H. sulcostriata n. sp. and H. differens n. sp., from caves in Laos. In addition, H. sinensis (Brölemann, 1896) is redescribed from type material and a lectotype is designated. Hyleoglomeris emarginata Golovatch, 1981 and H. robusta Attems, 1938 are redescribed from topotypes and notes are given on their variation.
