Remarks

Colin Johnson's comment: "All Atomaria positively identified by me are in the Pal Cat., some are rare European species like impressa. This occurs in rotten wood and flood refuse along fine rivers. When Casey types are revised, you might have another name for it. A. impressa is near nigrirostris, but bigger and with antennal club unequal (9 conical, 10 strongly transverse)."
