Asiarcha oblonga is a species of Tesseratomid bug found in South Asia. The species was originally described as Mattiphus oblongus.[1]

It is similar to Asiarcha angulosa. It differs from that species by the more rectangular thorax. From Asiarcha nigridorsis, it differs because of the main colour being green, not black.
