Atomaria lewisi A. curtula Rosaceae Contributions towards an understanding of the Atomariinae (Coleoptera, Cryptophagidae) of Atlantic Canada Majka, Christopher Johnson, Colin Langor, David ZooKeys 2010 2010-02-02 35 35 37 63 Reitter, 1877 Reitter 1877 [140,491,659,686] Insecta Cryptophagidae Atomaria CoL Animalia Coleoptera 15 52 Arthropoda species lewisi  We have examined the holotypeof  Atomaria curtula Casey 1900deposited in the Smithsonian Institution and have found it to be identical in all respects to  A. lewisiReitter. Wetherefore designate  A. curtula syn. n.as a junior synonym of  A. lewisi.    Atomaria lewisiis newly reported in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Canada, and North America (Fig. 14). Under the name  A. curtulait was reported from Connecticut, Ontario( Casey 1900; Leng 1920; Bousquet 1991; Downie and Arnett 1996), and Maine ( Procter 1946). In the Palaearctic region it is found throughout Europe, the Russian Far East, Central Asia, Mongolia, China, Japan, and North Korea, south to Bhutanand northern India( Johnson et al. 2007). Lohse (1967)called it an adventive species in Europe, and Johnson et al. (2007)referred to it as cosmopolitan. In Nova Scotia it has been found in coniferous and mixed forests, in boggy areas, on Craetegussp. ( Rosaceae), and on compost. Johnson (1993)reported that it was, “a grassland species which has been recorded especially around farms, gardens and parks but it often also occurs in other habitats. It has been collected in man-made heaps of refuse, especially cut vegetation, hay, grass, and compost.”    Description:Dorsum and venter brownish-yellow or reddish-yellow throughout, including legs. Head moderately densely, moderately finely punctate. Pronotum moderately densely and moderately coarsely punctate; interspaces 0.5 times the diameter of punctures; base with a distinct flattened depression. Elytra somewhat more finely and sparsely punctate; interspaces 1.0–1.5 times the diameter of punctures; elytral margins strongly rounded; setae rather long and prominently erect giving a “bristling” appearance (Fig. 7). Antennae: antennomere 1 long, swollen, and curved, apex nearly 1.5–2.0 times the width of base, 1.5 times longer than 2; 3 the same length as 2 but more slender; 4–8 almost equal in length and bead-like; club distinct; antennomeres 9 and 10 slightly transverse (Fig. 1.6). Body: width/length ratio, 0.46; length, 1.3–1.6 mm. 2608837054 2002-09-08 CGMC C. G. Majka Albert Co. Mary's Pt. 15 52 1 New Brunswick 2608837047 1986-06-16 NSNR E. Georgeson Cumberland Co.
