The types of H. nitens , At. insolens , At. apposita and Dim. resplendens are similar in external characters, in the shape of the aedeagus (in male specimens) and in lacking a sclerotized spermatheca (in female specimens). Distribution. Atheta nitens is known from Alaska, British Columbia, Washington and Oregon. : Published as part of Gusarov, Vladimir I., 2003, Revision of some types of North American aleocharines (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae), with synonymic notes, pp. 1-134 in Zootaxa 353 (1) on pages 93-95, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.353.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5019783 : {"references": ["Mannerheim, C.
