[ Gyrophaena gentilis Erichson 1839]

Gyrophaena gentilis: Kashcheev et al. 1989: 36; Kashcheev 2001a: 150

Remarks. The species was recorded from northern Tian-Shan, Ketmen, and Dzhungar Mountain Ridges (Kashcheev et al. 1989), Trans-Ili Alatau (Chon-Kemina, Turganskiy, Zhinishke Canions) and Kungey Alatau (Chilik River; ‘about 200 specimens of G. gentilis were collected from the single Russula ’) (Kashcheev 2001a). The new material does not confirm the presence of this species in Kazakhstan. It is possible that previous records of this species provided by Kashcheev are based on misidentifications.
