Type material. Holotype of Dimetrota prudhoensis: ♂, UNITED STATES: Alaska: Prudhoe Bay Rd., Bonanze Cr., 900', 150º40' 66º40' (A.Smetana & J.M.Campbell), 2.vii.1978 (CNCI).

Holotype of Dimetrota dempsterensis: ♂, CANADA: Yukon Territory: Dempster Hwy. Mi. 75, 3400' (A.Smetana & J.M.Campbell), 23.vii.1978 (CNCI).

Additional material: UNITED STATES: New York: Orange Co.: 10 specimens, 8 km S New Windsor, Black Rock Forest, 23–25.v.1998 (V.I.Gusarov) (SPSU); Vermont: Windsor Co.: ♀, 8 km SEE Springfield, Hwy. I­91, 43º14.00'N 72º26.81'W, 250m, forest litter, Acer, Betula, Quercus, Tsuga, 21.ix.1998 (V.I.Gusarov) (SPSU).

Diagnosis. See Lohse et al. (1990).

Discussion. The holotype of Dim. prudhoensis is similar to the holotype of Dim. dempsterensis in both external characters and the shape of the aedeagus, including the structures of the internal sac.

Distribution. Atheta prudhoensis seems to be widespread in the northern Nearctic Region but its distribution is poorly documented. It is known from Alaska, Yukon Territory, Vermont and New York.
