Gyrophaena congrua Erichson, 1837: 368 Gyrophaena congrua ; Hochhuth, 1849: 73

Distribution. Europe ( Joy 1912, Hansen & al. 1939, Hansen 1954, Likovský 1964, Dvořák 1966, Kangas 1991, Roosileht 2003, Stan 2006, Merkl 2008, Glotov & al. 2011, Enushchenko & Shavrin 2012a, etc.), European part of Russia ( Nikitskiy & al. 1996, Starodubtseva 2008, Semenov 2007, 2009, etc.), Siberia ( Solsky 1871, Enushchenko & Shavrin 2011, 2012b, Bukhkalo & al., 2012) and Russian Far East (Maritime Province) ( Enushchenko & Shavrin 2011).

Remarks. It was recorded for Caucasus by Hochhuth (1849) from Tiflis. The presence of this species in Caucasus is not confirmed by a new material.

Bruge (2005) wrote about confusion concerning identities of G. congrua , G. fasciata and G. laevipennis . It is possible that the previous record of G. congrua by Hochhuth represents misinterpreted G. fasciata .
