Gyrohypnus angustatus STEPHENS 1833

M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: Kazakhstan:2, 1, Irtysh river, Lebyazh'e, 21.V.1979, leg. Kastcheev (cAss). Ukraine: 1, 1 sex? (abdomen missing), Kharkov district, Lebedinovka, 3.IV.1974, leg. Kastcheev (cAss).

C o m m e n t Gyrohypnus angustatus is widespread in the Western Palaearctic region. It has been reported also from western and eastern Siberia, and doubtfully from Tajikistan ( ASSING 2003, SMETANA 2004). The above specimens from Kazakhstan represent a new country record and confirm the presence of this species in Middle Asia.
