Natural history.

The SK specimens were captured from aspen/pine litter and pine/spruce litter in August through October. In NB, most adults of Atheta pseudoschistoglossa were found in or near wetland habitats including among cobblestones, drift material, and flood debris along river margins, moist leaves along vernal pond margin in a silver maple swamp, in leaf litter and moss along brook margins in alder swamps, and in litter at base of red maple, in Carex hummock in Carex marshes, in leaf litter in a red oak forest near seasonally flooded marsh, in a salt marsh, in marsh litter in a Carex -sedge marsh, and in litter and sphagnum at the base of a tree in a marsh ( Webster et al. 2016b). A few adults were captured in Lindgren funnel traps in hardwood woodland near a seasonally flooded marsh and in an old mixed forest ( Webster et al. 2016b). Adults were collected from mid-April to August ( Webster et al. 2016b).
