Phanerota
I've been spending some time on this group recently (using Seevers 1951) and this is actually Phanerota rather than Gyrophaena. Relative to Gyrophaena, Phanerota has larger eyes that take up the whole head. The species is either P. fasciata or P. carinata, but I'm not sure which.

Yes again!
And Gyrophaena, if the genus has not been splitted recently. Male! (modified last dorsal may allow for species ID, if one has a tableau or a well stuffed collection)

Thanks!
Thanks for the IDs. Do you know of any references that might allow species ID for this group?
