D i s t r i b u t i o n: Europe, Turkey,? East Siberia.

C o m m e n t s: SOLSKY (1875: 270) described Encephalus kraatzi from the coast of Baikal Lake (type locality: "... prés de Koultuk, sur le lac Baikal"), from one specimen (sex is not specified), and compared his new species to the European E. complicans STEPHENS 1832 . HOCHHUTH (1872: 118) described Encephalus kraatzi from the Ukraine (Kiev), from one specimen (sex is not specified), and compared his new species to the European E. complicans . Both descriptions were made independently and are quite different. HEYDEN (1880: 68) has replaced the species (homonymy) name Encephalus kraatzi SOLSKY 1875 (as E. kraatzii [sic!]) into E. solskyi HEYDEN. GANGLBAUER (1895: 301) listed the names " kraatzi SOLSKY " and " solskyi FAUVEL " [sic!, not HEYDEN] as synonyms under G. nitidula (GYLLENHAL 1810) . JACOBSON (1909: 532) in his catalogue cited Encephalus kraatzi HOCHHUTH 1872 as a valid species, and G. kraatzi SOLSKY 1875 (page 533) as a junior synonym under G. nitidula . WINKLER (1925: 405, 406) cited as valid Encephalus kraatzi SOLSKY 1870 [sic!], and G. kraatzi SOLSKY 1875 and G. solskyi HEYDEN 1881 [sic!] as synonyms under G. nitidula . BERNHAUER & SCHEERPELTZ (1926: 526) considered Encephalus kraatzi SOLSKY 1870: 256 [sic!] as valid species, ignored Solsky’s proposed homonymy and confused the publication date 1870 with 1875 (Solsky). In the same publication in the section on Gyrophaena (p. 533), the authors considered names - " kraatzi SOLSKY, 1875 " and " solskyi HEYDEN, 1880 -81" [sic!] as synonyms of G. nitidula (GYLL.) . SEEVERS (1951: 758) cited Encephalus kraatzi HOCHHUTH as a valid species. TICHOMIROVA (1973: 152) considered Encephalus kraatzi SOLSKY 1870 [sic!] as valid; and reported G. nitidula without synonyms as a valid species. SMETANA (2004: 445) cosidered two names (besides signatipennis GREDLER 1863 ) under G. nitidula : " kraatzi SOLSKY, 1875 ", noting the homonyms («[HN]») and " solskyi L. HEYDEN, 1880 " [rejected name].

These researchers have not studied the type material of Solsky and Hochhuth. Gyrophaena nitidula (GYLL.) , a common European species, is not reliably recorded from Siberia.
