Scheerpelz & Höfler (1948), based on a common character of long, filiform and slender antennae of some Gyrophaena species, erected the subgenus Leptarthrophaena including G. affinis, G. nitidula (Gyllenhal, 1810), G. o b s o l e t a Ganglbauer 1895, G. pulchella Heer 1839, and G. rosskotheni Wüsthoff 1937. Blackwelder (1952) designated G. affinis as type species of this subgenus. Long before, Rey (1886) described the larva of G. affinis . According to his description it could be any species of Gyrophaena sensu stricto (White 1977, Ashe 1986). Seevers (1951) treated Leptarthrophaena as an unnatural subgenus. He noted that “…it is impossible to separate Gyrophaena into subgenera on the basis of antennal characters” (Seevers 1951: 671). Most subsequent authors did not use this name (Hansen 1954, Likovský 1964, Lohse 1974, White 1977, Burakowski & al. 1981, Campbell & Davies 1991, Gouix & Klimaszewski 2007, Klimaszewski & al. 2009, 2011). Smetana (2004) and Schülke & Smetana (2015) has cited this subgenus as a valid taxon, but without most originally included species by Scheerpeltz & Höfler (1948). We believe that there are enough arguments to not use the subgeneric name Leptarthrophaena in the present study. Remarks. The first records of G. affinis for Caucasus were published by Eppelsheim (1878: Mt. Sarijal near Elisavetpol [now Ganja]) and Reitter (1888: "Circassien" [NW Caucasus]). Roubal (1911) recorded G. affinis for Krasnaya Polyana; Eichler (1930 a) recorded it for Mtskheta (Georgia). Seevers (1951) mentioned G. affinis for Caucasus without specific data. Nikitskiy & al. (2008) cited G . affinis for the Caucasian Nature Reserve (Khosta and Guzeripl'). The species is here reported for the Russian Far East for the first time. : Published as part of Enushchenko, Ilya V. & Semenov, Viktor B., 2016, A review of the genus Gyrophaena Mannerheim 1830 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae: Gyrophaenina) of the Caucasus and adjacent territories, pp. 301-337 in Zootaxa 4126 (3) on pages 303-305, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4126.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/262862 : {"references": ["Mannerheim, C.
