Atheta (Dimetrota) aeneipennis (Thomson, 1856)

Remarks. Lohse and Smetana (1985) resurrected Atheta (Dimetrota) aeneipennis from the synonymy of A. (D.) picipennis (Mannerheim) . Paśnik (2001) recorded Atheta (Dimetrota) picipennis from North Korea. Later, Smetana (2004) replaced the record of A. (D.) picipennis with A. (D.) aeneipennis . After examining all North Korean specimens of Atheta (Dimetrota) picipennis, we found that the record by Paśnik (2001) is the result of a misidentification of Atheta (Dimetrota) aeneipennis, in agreement with Smetana (2004). This species has not been collected in South Korea.
