MATERIAL EXAMINED. 2 ♀♀, Republic of Belarus, Minsk, Krasivyi lane, among household waste, 14.07.2019, leg. et det. A.M. Ostrovsky.

DISTRIBUTION. A widespread Euro-Siberian species distributed in the western Palaearctic, ranging from northwestern Africa through most of Europe to Siberia; also introduced to North America [ Bonato et al., 2005; Nefediev et al., 2017]. The published synonymy of Schizotaenia ornata Folkmanová et Dobroruka, 1960 under G. flavus by Bonato and Minelli [2014] implies that there may be some previous records of G. flavus from the former USSR, including Belarus, reported under the name of G. proximus C.L. Koch, 1847 [ Zalesskaja et al., 1982]. The distribution of G. flavus in European Russia has been summarized by Volkova [2016].
