Atheta (Microdota) kobensis Cameron, 1933

Material examined.

Syntype, 3 exx., labeled as in Figs 89-91. NORTH KOREA: 2 exx., Korea 1981 Kymgangsan A. Szeptycki [North Korea, Gangwon Prov., Mt. Geumgangsan, 1.viii.1981, A. Szeptycki]; 1 ex., Korea 1981 Pekson-ri A. Szeptycki [North Korea, Hwanghae Prov., Baeksong-ri, 1981, A. Szeptycki].

Remarks.

The North Korean record of the species by Paśnik (2001) is a misidentification of other Atheta (Microdota) species. This species differs from the syntypes of Atheta (Microdota) kobensis by the shape of aedeagus and spermatheca. We cannot identify the species at this point because specimens are not in good shape.
