Glotov, 2014 [red label]” (ZMHB). D e s c r i p t i o n. Measurements (mm) of holotype: length of antenna: 0.73; maximal head width (including eyes): 0.44; head length 0.29; maximal width of pronotum: 0.51; length of pronotum (measured along its midline): 0.36; length of elytra at suture: 0.41; maximal width of elytra (combined width of each elytron when elytra closed along suture): 0.73; total length of body (from anterior margin of labrum to posterior margin of tergite VIII): 2.2. Coloration: head dark-brown; pronotum pale brown with narrow pale brown margin at base and laterally; elytra yellow; abdomen pale brown, abdominal tergites VI and VII dark brown; mouthparts, antennae and legs yellow. Head smooth, transverse, 1.52 times as wide as long, vertex with 5 or more sparse, small, round, distinct punctures on each side; microsculpture absent. Pronotum smooth; strongly transverse, 1.41 times as wide as long and 1.16 times as wide as head; posterior angles and posterior margin of pronotal disc rounded; in middle and lateral sides of pronotal disc with sparse, scattered, small, rounded punctures, in the middle with 2 longitudinal rows of 5 round, distinct punctures each; microsculpture absent. Elytra smooth and glossy; 1.43 times as wide as pronotum; with sparse, round, small punctuation; microsculpture absent; with sparsely distributed fine setae. Abdomen: posterior margin abdominal tergites, each, 1 row longitudinal and narrow striae; punctation hardly distinct or absent; abdominal tergites, each, with dense and distinct microsculpture. Male: middle of posterior margin of 8th tergite with wide incision bordered by 2 short, wide, apically weakly pointed, curved inwards appendages and with 2 short, pointed teeth (fig. 3, <i>1</i>). Aedeagus (fig. 3, <i>2</i>). &amp;Rcy;&amp;icy;&amp;scy;. 3. <i>Gyrophaena plutenkowi</i> sp. n.: <i>1 —</i> 8-&amp;jcy; &amp;tcy;&amp;iecy;&amp;rcy;&amp;gcy;&amp;icy;&amp;tcy; &amp;scy;&amp;acy;&amp;mcy;&amp;tscy;&amp;acy;; <i>2 —</i> &amp;ecy;&amp;dcy;&amp;iecy;&amp;acy;&amp;gcy;&amp;ucy;&amp;scy;, &amp;scy;&amp;bcy;&amp;ocy;&amp;kcy;&amp;ucy;. C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s. Based on the similar morphology of the male primary and secondary sexual characters <i>Gyrophaena plutenkoi</i> Glotov, sp. n. is similar to <i>G. simplicitatis</i> Pace, 2003 and allied species (<i>G. fusicornis</i> Eppelsheim, 1887). It can be reliably distinguished from these species by the shape of the male sternite VIII and by the shape of the aedeagus. For illustrations of the aedeagi of <i>G. simplicitatis</i> see Pace (2003). E t y m o l o g y. The new species is named for Andrey Plutenko (Russia, Smolensk), who collected the holotype and numerous specimens of <i>Gyrophaena</i> in the Russian Far East. D i s t r i b u t i o n. Russia (Primorsky Kray).
