When describing Paradilacra, Bernhauer (1909) included in it an additional Nearctic species (Atheta ambigua (Erichson, 1839)) and one species from North Africa (At. hyperbolica Bernhauer, 1905). In this paper At. ambigua is placed in the genus Strigota Casey, 1910a (see below). The aedeagus and spermatheca of Pa. densissima are shown in Figs. 23–30. Discussion. My comparison of the types of the species described by Casey (1910a, 1911a) in the genus Paradilacra with the types of Pa. densissima confirmed the synonymies established by Fenyes (1920). The body size and the length of the female spermatheca (Figs. 29–30) varies in examined specimens but this variation is continuous. In all examined male specimens the shape of the aedeagus and the sclerites of its internal sac were identical. Distribution. Paradilacra densissima is widely distributed in the western United States (California, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Montana and North Dakota) and Canada (British Columbia and Alberta).
