Atomaria wollastoni Sharp
Yes, very nice. This is indeed Atomaria wollastoni Sharp. In the photograph of the pronotum one can see that there is no strong transverse impression, the character that differentiates this species from Atomaria nigrirostris Stephens. A nice record: the first from New Brunswick of this Holarctic species.
