A taxonomic review of Korean species of the AthetaThomsonsubgenusMicrodota Mulsant & Rey, with descriptions of two new species (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Aleocharinae) Author Lee, Seung-Gyu Author Ahn, Kee-Jeong text ZooKeys 2015 502 61 97 http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.502.9420 journal article http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.502.9420 1313-2970-502-61 2139C45FE4664FBFA9E8853622E3B250 Taxon classification Animalia Coleoptera Staphylinidae Atheta (Microdota) scrobicollis (Kraatz, 1859) Material examined. Syntype, 1 ex., labeled as follows: type, C. cava, Coll. Jil. Moser, Type. NORTH KOREA: 1 ex., Korea 81/51 Kwail 18.VI. A.S. [North Korea, Hwanghae Prov., Kwail, 18.vi.1981, A. Szeptycki]. Remarks. The North Korean record of the species by Pasnik (2001) is a misidentification of other Atheta (Microdota) species. This species is unlikely to be found in Korea as its distribution has shown that it occurs in southern Europe and subtropical regions. This species differs from a syntype of Atheta (Microdota) scrobicollis by several diagnostic characters although we were not able to identify it due to a paucity of specimen.
