Discussion.
Klimaszewski and Peck (1986)
designated the
lectotype
of
Atheta annexa
but did not attach the
lectotype
label to the Casey type. In the Casey collection there is only
one type
of
At. annexa
. Apparently this is the type that was examined and designated as the
lectotype
by Klimaszewski and Peck. I attached the
lectotype
label to the specimen.
Klimaszewski and Peck (1986)
stated that
At. annexa
is practically indistinguishable from
At. cephalina
Casey, 1910a
and
At. lymphatica
Casey, 1911a
. My examination of the
types
did not confirm that opinion.
Atheta cephalina
is conspecific with
At. klagesi
Bernhauer, 1909
, while
At. lymphatica
differs from
At. annexa
in details of its microsculpture and its body color.
Distribution.
Atheta annexa
is widespread in the eastern
United States
(
New York
,
Virginia
,
West Virginia
,
Kentucky
,
Tennessee
,
North Carolina
,
Georgia
,
Florida
,
Alabama

Louisiana
,
Missoury
,
Kansas
,
Iowa
,
Illinois
,
Wisconsin
,
Indiana
and
Ohio
(see
Klimaszewski & Peck 1986
)) and is also known from
Canada
(
