Distribution. Korea (South).
Remarks. This species is very similar to Atheta (Dimetrota) machonryongica , but can be distinguished by the characters provided in the key and the different shape and structure of aedeagus and spermatheca. Most specimens were collected by FIT and from mushroom in forest.
Etymology. Named from Latin ovata meaning “ovate”, which refers to the shape of median lobe of aedeagus.
