Type material. Lectotype of Homalota maritima (designated by Lohse and Smetana (1985)): UNITED STATES: Alaska: Sitka (MZHF).
Additional material. UNITED STATES: Alaska: 14 specimens, Kenai Peninsula, Homer, S shore of Homer spit, 59º36.33'N 151º25.71'W, sandy seashore, in seaweed (V.I.Gusarov), 22.vii.1998 (AMNH, SPSU).
Diagnosis. See Gusarov (2003c).
Discussion. The description and illustrations (Easton 1971) of At. immigrans agree completely with the lectotype and examined specimens of Ad. maritima. Therefore At. immigrans is a synonym of Ad. maritima.
Distribution. Adota maritima is known from the Pacific coast of North America, from Alaska to California. The recent records from Britain (Easton 1971, Hammond 2000) apparently represent an introduction.
