According to an Hungarian entomologist this aquatic beetle doesn't live in Hungary. DenesFeri (talk) 10:41, 18 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

@DenesFeri: Two of the sources used in the article list Hungary as part of its range. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:44, 17 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Cwmhiraeth: I will ask about this, the entomologist. Or perhaps those sources are wrong. DenesFeri (talk) 15:04, 18 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Cwmhiraeth: Hi, This are the Hungarian Gyrinus sp. DenesFeri (talk) 08:38, 19 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

Gyrinus colymbus Erichson, 1837 – recés keringőbogár
Gyrinus distinctus Aubé, 1836 – keskeny keringőbogár
Gyrinus marinus Gyllenhal, 1808 – érces keringőbogár
Gyrinus minutus Fabricius, 1798 – törpe keringőbogár
Gyrinus paykulli Ochs, 1927 – karcsú keringőbogár
Gyrinus substriatus Stephens, 1829 – gyakori keringőbogár
Gyrinus suffriani Scriba, 1855 – nádi keringőbogár

The website GBIF does not list it as occurring in Hungary so I guess you are correct. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:58, 19 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Cwmhiraeth: OK, I'm glad that we agree. DenesFeri (talk) 10:22, 19 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
