Abstract

Five new species of Setizembrus Germann in the subtribe Cotasteromimina are described: Setizembrus bannapei Germann sp. nov., S. brevipes Germann sp. nov., S. globosus Germann sp. nov., S. longipes Germann sp. nov. and S. ottobelli Germann sp. nov.. Based on these newly discovered species, the characters defining the genus are reassessed, and a new key to all ten species of the genus is presented.
