Measurements (mm): length of antenna: 0.64–0.66; maximal head width (including eyes): 0.44–0.48; head length (the anterior margin of the clypeus to the posterior margin of the head): 0.29–0.34; maximal width of pronotum: 0.48–0.54; length of pronotum (measured along its midline): 0.33–0.38; length of elytra at suture: 0.36–0.39; maximal width of elytra (combined width of each elytron when elytra closed along suture): 0.66–0.79; total length of body (from anterior margin of labrum to posterior margin of tergite VIII): 2.3–2.5. Coloration: head dark-brown, glossy; pronotum brown, glossy; elytra yellow-brown, posterior angles and base with 2 (1 on each elytron) triangle, apically pointed, dark brown spots; abdomen pale brown, abdominal tergites VI and VII dark brown; mouthparts, antennae and legs yellow. Head strongly transverse, 1.45–1.38 times as wide as long, vertex with 6 or more sparse, small, round, distinct punctures on each side; microsculpture hardly distinct or absent. Antennae length; antennal segment I long strongly widened towards apex; segment II long, narrower and shorter than segments I; segment III narrower and shorter than segment II; segment IV small and short; segments V-X slightly strongly transverse, 1.33–1.50 times as wide as long, segments each, almost parallel-sided. Pronotum smooth; strongly transverse, 1.42–1.45 times as wide as long and 1.09– 1.13 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 near anterior margin with 2 longitudinal discontinuous in centre rows, each with 2 moderately large and some small round, distinct punctures, in the middle near posterior margin with 2 large, round punctures, posterior margin with even, dense, small punctation; microsculpture hardly distinct or absent. Elytra 1.38–1.46 times as wide as pronotum; with dense and small punctuation; microsculpture dense and distinct; with sparsely distributed fine setae. Abdomen: abdominal tergites, each, with dense and distinct microsculpture; Male: posterior margin of tergite VII in the middle with 2 large, round striae and lateral some longitudinal, short striae; posterior margin of tergite VII with 1 moderately long, weakly sharpened and curved inwards processes laterally and in the middle with 2 lightly shorter appendages (fig. 2, <i>1</i>). Aedeagus (fig. 2, <i>2</i>, <i>3</i>). C o m m e n t s. The original description of <i>G. orientalis</i> is based on an unspecified number of syntypes collected “Sistikem Sibir” collected by “Fritz Jansen” (Strand, 1938). A male syntype was located in the collections of the were found at the (NHMO); it is designated as the lectotype. The original description of <i>G. transsylvanica</i> is based on a single holotype male from Romania “Herkulesfürdõ” and two paratypes (one male and one female) from Hungary “Hu., Bihar, Galbina, Bokor” (Ádám, 2008). Ádám (2008) compared <i>G. transsylvanica</i> with <i>G. williamsi</i> A. Strand, 1939 and <i>G. munsteri</i> Strand, 1935, but there was no reference whatsoever to <i>G. orientalis</i>; the figures of the aedeagus of the holotype and paratype of <i>G. transsylvanica</i> in Ádám (2008) are rather misleading. An examination of the holotype and paratypes revealed that it is identical to <i>G. orientalis</i> in external characters, as well as in the shape of the male sternite VIII and in the morphology of the aedeagus. An examination of the holotype and paratype of <i>G. transsylvanica</i> revealed that it refers to <i>G. orientalis</i>. Hence the synonymy is proposed above. &amp;Rcy;&amp;icy;&amp;scy;. 2. <i>Gyrophaena orientalis</i>: <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;; <i>3 —</i> &amp;ecy;&amp;dcy;&amp;iecy;&amp;acy;&amp;gcy;&amp;ucy;&amp;scy;, &amp;vcy;&amp;iecy;&amp;ncy;&amp;tcy;&amp;rcy;&amp;acy;&amp;lcy;&amp;softcy;&amp;ncy;&amp;ocy; (&amp;pcy;&amp;ocy;: Ádám, 2008, &amp;scy; &amp;icy;&amp;zcy;&amp;mcy;&amp;iecy;&amp;ncy;&amp;iecy;&amp;ncy;&amp;icy;&amp;yacy;&amp;mcy;&amp;icy;).
