A taxonomic review of Korean species of the AthetaThomsonsubgenusMicrodota Mulsant & Rey, with descriptions of two new species (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Aleocharinae) Lee, Seung-Gyu Ahn, Kee-Jeong ZooKeys 2015 502 61 97 JDC8 Kraatz, 1859 Kraatz 1859 Insecta Staphylinidae Atheta CoL Animalia Atheta (Microdota) scrobicollis Coleoptera 22 83 Arthropoda species scrobicollis Microdota  Taxon classification Animalia Coleoptera Staphylinidae  Material examined. Syntype, 1 ex., labeled as follows: type, C. cava, Coll. Jil. Moser, Type. NORTH KOREA: 1 ex., Korea 81/51 Kwail 18.VI. A.S. [North Korea, Hwanghae Prov., Kwail, 18.vi.1981, A. Szeptycki].  Remarks. The North Korean record of the species by  Pasnik(2001)is a misidentification of other Atheta (Microdota)species. This species is unlikely to be found in Korea as its distribution has shown that it occurs in southern Europe and subtropical regions. This species differs from a syntype of Atheta (Microdota) scrobicollisby several diagnostic characters although we were not able to identify it due to a paucity of specimen.
