Oryxa is a genus of planthoppers in the hemipteran family Flatidae. They live on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra, and in Malaysia. The genus was established in 19021 by Leopold Melichar in his monograph of the families Acanaloniidae and Flatidae. Melichar designated Carl Linnaeus' O. truncata to be the type species of his new genus, but Melichar's specimens were not of the species described by Linnaeus. A replacement name of Oryxa melichari was therefore chosen for Melichar's species; the status of Linnaeus' species remains unclear.
