Comparative notes.
Olophrinus setiventris
is similar to
O. lantschangensis
in sharing the head with fine punctures, the posterolateral and posterior margins of the head with microsculpture consisting of transverse waves, and each elytron with seven complete rows of punctures. The new species can be readily separated by the densely setose emargination of the posterior margin of male sternite VI.

Etymology.
The specific epithet is a noun combined from Latin ‘
seti-
’ (seta, bristle) and ‘
ventris
’ (venter), referring to the setose posterior margin of male sternite VI.
