Holotype. Male. AUSTRALIA: 28.19S, 153.05E, Lamington National Park (C2290 QM).
Diagnosis. Males distinguished from most other Atyphella by the acute frons-vertex junction, the small (probably non–functional) mouthparts, the contiguous antennal sockets, the brown – dark brown parallelsided elytra; females pale coloured with fully developed elytra and vestigial hind wings; paler male specimens very like A. similis, which has angulate posterolateral pronotal corners, separated antennal sockets, well developed mouthparts and flightless brachelytral females. Ballantyne and Lambkin (2000) distinguished atra and similis most obviously by their distinctive females.
