Natural history.
Like many introduced species,
Atheta subsinuata
appears to be synanthropic, as all collections have been made from artificial habitats. The Saskatchewan specimens were sifted from old mouldy alfalfa hay in June and July, and one female was taken in September from compost. In YT, four specimens were captured in a compost pile in September 2005 (
