(1990 ; as Dimetrota ). Discussion. To clarify the status of Atheta altaica and At. picipennis , the types of both species were examined. The types of At. altaica correspond to the accepted concept of this species ( e. g. , Strand & Vik 1964 ; Lohse et al. 1990 ). Distribution. Atheta altaica has a circumpolar distribution. In North America it is known from Alaska , Yukon Territory , Northwest Territories and Labrador ( Lohse et al. 1990 ).
