(Fig. 8 in Sawada 1977)

Atheta (Halobrecta) madida Bernhauer, 1907: 400 . Atheta (Halostiba) madida: Sawada, 1977: 190 .

Diagnosis. Adota madida can be recognized by the distinct shape of male tergum 8 (Fig. 8, K: Sawada 1977), the presence of bifurcate microsetae at the apex of male sternum 8 (Fig. 8, G) and by the distinct shape of the aedeagus and spermatheca (Figs. 8, H­L).

Adota madida can be distinguished from the Nearctic species of Adota by slightly concave and almost smooth posterior margin of the male tergum 8 and different shape of the aedeagus and spermatheca.

Distribution. Adota madida is known from Japan (Honshu and Kyushu).
