Comments. Olophrinus striatus was originally described from Myanmar, subsequently reported from India, Nepal, and the Chinese provinces of Yunnan and Fujian, and is here newly recorded from Guangxi, southern China. This species ( Figs 11–12 ) can be readily identified by each elytron with seven complete and two short outer rows of punctures, tergite VIII ( Fig. 12K ) of female with six lobes, and the aedeagus with the parameres bearing a preapical denticle on the ventral side ( Figs 12 I–J; indicated by arrows). Note the lengths of the inner lobes of female tergite VIII can be considerably variable.

Distribution. China: Fujian, Guangxi (new provincial record), Yunnan; India; Myanmar; Nepal ( Fig. 18 ).
