Type material. Lectotype of Homalota maritima (designated by Lohse and Smetana (1985)): UNITED STATES: Alaska: Sitka ( MZHF).

Additional material. UNITED STATES: Alaska: 14 specimens, Kenai Peninsula, Homer, S shore of Homer spit, 59º36.33'N 151º25.71'W, sandy seashore, in seaweed (V.I.Gusarov), 22.vii.1998 ( AMNH, SPSU) .

Diagnosis. See Gusarov (2003c).

Discussion. The description and illustrations ( Easton 1971) of At. immigrans agree completely with the lectotype and examined specimens of Ad. maritima . Therefore At. immigrans is a synonym of Ad. maritima .

Distribution. Adota maritima is known from the Pacific coast of North America, from Alaska to California. The recent records from Britain ( Easton 1971, Hammond 2000) apparently represent an introduction.
