Description

Atheta (Dimetrota) atramentaria (Gyllenhal, 1810)

(Fig. 8B–C)

Remarks. After detailed comparative studies of Atheta (Dimetrota) atramentaria with its related species, we found that this species is in agreement with the male diagnostic characters including aedeagus of A. (Bessobia) genitilior described by Pace (1998). Therefore, the species may be synonymized under A. (D.) atramentaria. But it is still premature to propose a synonym until thorough comparative and detailed study of the species including type specimens. This species was recorded by Kim et al. (1994) for the first time in Korea and some specimens were collected from mushroom in forest.
