Atheta (Datomicra) nigra (KRAATZ, 1856)

Atheta (Microdota) biroi SCHEERPELTZ, 1964: 306 ff.; syn. nov.

The original description of Atheta biroi is based on “1 ♂, 1 ♀, Typen, 76 Ex., Paratypen ” from “Herakleion” (SCHEERPELTZ 1964). According to Jürgen Vogel (Görlitz), who revised type specimens, this material is conspecific with the widespread and common A. nigra . Hence the synonymy proposed above.
