Diagnosis. This species may be distinguished from other Nearctic Atheta (s. str.) by its uniformly black and glossy body, sparse pubescence of forebody, antennal articles elongate, and the shape of its genital structures (Figs 2-4).

Natural history. Very little is known about the life history of this species. Adults in Newfoundland were captured in pitfall traps on a coastal limestone barren and in riparian forest ( Klimaszewski et al. 2011 ). The Alberta specimen was captured in a window-trap attached to aspen snag in boread aspen forest harvested 29 years previously. Adults were collected in August in Alberta and Newfoundland. Comments. This species is likely continuously distributed in northern boreal forest of Canada.
