Discussion.
The
lectotypes
of
Ps. miscella
,
Dim. pectorina
and
Dim. crucialis
agree completely with the specimens of
Dal. coriaria
from Europe in external characters, including male secondary features and the shape of the aedeagus.
Muona (1979a
,
1987
) pointed out that
Atheta coriaria
is conspecific with
Taxicera academica
based on the detailed illustrations of the internal sac of the aedeagus of the latter species by
Yosii and Sawada (1976)
. I accept Muona's interpretation.
Distribution.
In North America
Dal. coriaria
is known from
California
,
Florida
(
Frank 1980
),
Louisiana
,
New Jersey
and
New York
. Because
Dal. coriaria
is restricted to areas on the West and East coasts, and not known from inland states of the
United States
, it is probably an introduction from Europe.
